Over 3,000 students from across the region converged on the UCS Waterfront Building in Ipswich today for the third annual Suffolk Higher Education Convention.
Students attended the event with their Sixth Form or College to find out more about their options post further education. The event featured over 100 higher education representatives which included universities from across the country and Student Finance England.
Students were also able to attend a range of seminars to get advice on how to apply, how to choose a university or course, taking a gap year and a talk from Student Finance England on the new fees system| and maintenance support which will come into effect from 2012.
The event coincided with Universities Week|- a national campaign to highlight the impact universities in the UK have on all sections of society, influencing the economy, culture, society, and the future.
