We want you to get as much out of RO as possible,
and the wide range of events and activities at our
RO universities will help you to do this.
Howwill they help you?
Attending events and activities allows you to:
Visit the universities you may want to apply to.
Identify and develop the skills necessary to be
successful at a research intensive university.
Learn more about specific subject areas.
Find out what it is like to be a student at university
by meeting current students.
Receive support with your university application and
the EPQ or Academic Assignment.
Find out more about how university will help
you in the future.
How do you book a place?
Visit our website to
see the events/activities available to you and follow
the booking instructions included with each event.
Make sure the date doesn’t clash with any important
exams or deadlines.
Let your school/college know that you are attending
an RO event.
Let the university know if you have any specific
requirements which they should know about.
If you need to travel to an event it may be possible
to have your travelling expenses reimbursed.
Details on travelling expenses you can claim will be
advertised alongside the events/activities on our
website. You should check with the university you
are visiting in advance of the event to see if this is
possible. Details of who to contact at each university
can be found on our website. Please be sure to
keep any travel tickets
