The progression from A-level to degree is a crucial stage in any young person's life and we prepare carefully for this transition, helping our students achieve their ambitions. At Duff Miller we also believe that education is not solely limited to the academic sphere. We encourage our students to take the opportunity to participate in our programme of activities and sports, enabling them to leave the college as well-rounded individuals as well as academic success stories.
Duff Miller students are given encouragement and advice at every stage of their passage through the increasingly competitive UCAS system. The Head of Careers has worked for many years in conjunction with both students and leading universities, giving them an unusually deep insight into the complex process of applying through UCAS. The students' personal tutors and the teaching staff also help them come to a realistic decision about which degree subjects, courses and institutions are most appropriate. They are also given extensive guidance in writing the kind of personal statement that will make their application stand out from the competition.
Interview Training
Those students likely to be required to attend interviews in order to gain an offer of a place - for example, those applying to medical or dental school or Oxbridge - will be given in-depth preparation for the interview process, consisting of mock interviews and advice on technique and preparation. This includes a focus on overall impression as well as coverage of the specific content of the interview, taking in key aspects of performance like body language, vocal projection and articulation.
Those wishing to partake in our interview programme or to find out more please contact Rachel McDonagh at the College 0207 225 0577.
