Forward Thinking

Forward Thinking is a progressive programme of activities for students from Y8 through to Y11. The University of Birmingham selects students who they deem to have little or no knowledge of higher education, but who have the academic potential to consider future progression to university. Throughout the programme students will participate in a range of on-campus activities, receive one to one mentoring support from undergraduates in school, and access information and advice materials to support the programme. We hope that taking part in these activities will help our students become clearer about their future education and career path, which should in turn motivate them to achieve in school so they are able to reach their full potential.
