No matter how big or small the cohort, crafting positive, persuasive references for every student can be difficult.
Delivered by our team of experts, with real-life examples, and plenty of dos and don’ts, this session promises to suitably prepare teachers and advisers for the challenge!
Date: on request
Year-on-year voted the aspect of the application process that students find the most difficult, how can teachers and advisers make it easier for students to create a good personal statement (without writing it for them!)?
Packed with useful hints and tips and real-life examples, this interactive workshop will make the whole process a bit less painful for all concerned!
During this session our team of experts will highlight the type, and amount of financial support your students could receive.
Students' most common financial concerns will be discussed, and you will have an opportunity to ask any questions that you have around student finance.
The Professional Policing CPD event for Teachers and Advisers will give you a brilliant insight into the Professional Policing Degree courses at University of South Wales. It will also provide you with up-to-date information on the new entry requirements for all new police officers in England and Wales from 2020. You will have the opportunity to see our outstanding facilities - we are one of the few universities in the world to have a Hydra Simulation Centre, which is used to train police officers at all levels - from Constable to Chief Constable. This means that our students use exactly the same system that the police use to train their staff to be better officers.
The Hydra Simulation helps students practice dealing with realistic scenarios such as major crime enquiries, so they will be able to develop their interview skills for critical incidents. The simulation centre allows students to experience these incidents in a safe learning environment, where they can test their ability to make decisions, take action and see the consequences.
We also have a Crime Scene House where they can practice crime scene investigation techniques on campus, as well as forensic facilities for analysing forensic evidence.
The UK Student Recruitment Team and Recruitment Events Teams want to ensure that they meet their responsibility to safeguard and protect the children and vulnerable adults they work with, and to ensure that the highest possible standards in terms of safeguarding are maintained.
Both teams work in line with the University of South Wales’ Safeguarding Policy.
