CAREERS & STUDENT
PROGRESSION
Varndean Sixth Form College prides itself in its
excellent progression rate and offers extensive
support to students by an experienced,
dedicated and professional careers team.
Throughout their time, students receive careers
related support delivered through their weekly
tutorial sessions or a 1:1 appointment for advice.
Guidance is given to help students make choices
about their next steps, whether that be applying
for university, an apprenticeship, or planning a
structured ‘gap year’.
The Careers team also organise a diverse range
of events, including an annual Apprenticeship
Fair, Personal Statement Writing Day, the
Varndean Internship Programme (VIP), as well
as the HE Information Day at the University of
Sussex and UCAS Fair at The Brighton Centre.
Through the ‘Careers Spotlight’ programme,
curriculum areas also invite employers in to talk
to students about their field of work and what
it is like to be employed in that occupational
sector.
We take immense pride in seeing our
students move on to study at some of the
most prestigious universities in the UK, such
as Oxford and Cambridge, Bristol, Durham,
Exeter, Imperial College, King’s College London,
Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield, UCL,
Warwick, and York, pursuing a wide range of
subjects and continuing their academic journeys
with confidence and ambition.
