Description
WHO WE ARE
93% of secondary school students across the UK attend state schools. Yet, we account for just 66% of the intake at the University of Bristol.
Coming to a top university from a state school education can be quite daunting, and more often than not, it can be difficult to find people with life experiences similar to your own - sometimes leading to a feeling of alienation.
This group wants to help break down the divide between state and private schools and ensure students from disadvantaged educational backgrounds have the same positive experience at UoB. This group was created in response to the expressed need to voice the experiences and opinions of state school students (in the UK and internationally) who have come to UoB and feel they have done so through educational disadvantage.
EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
- Regular socials to meet other like-minded students.
- Access to hear from speakers, journalists and academics about Widening Participation.
- Networking and career-related events, e.g. LinkedIn photoshoots and CV workshops.
- Outreach and volunteering opportunities at state schools in Bristol.
- Academic and confidence-building workshops for 93% of Club members.
- A mentoring scheme with industry professionals within Bristol!
AIMS
- To provide a space for UoB students from disadvantaged educational backgrounds to share experiences, opinions, concerns and useful social and educational resources.
- Upon graduation, we aim to upskill, inspire, and empower state-educated and underrepresented students in top sectors and industries.
- Act as a LIASON between our members and the University of Bristol to ensure an equal student experience, focusing on student wellbeing, confidence, employability, finance, and housing.
- Encourage more communication with privately educated peers, the Students' Union, and other UK universities regarding different educational, geographical, and social inequality levels.
- To work with the wider Bristol community to provide academic support through outreach programs, mentoring schemes and more.
