As part of National Careers Week, WQE is delighted to announce more details about our careers events this March and April 2026. These events are designed to help students make informed, confident decisions about their future.
WQE University Exhibition – Tuesday 24 March 2026
We are welcoming over 75 universities from across the UK to campus, giving students a valuable opportunity to explore their Higher Education options in one place.
Students can speak directly with University representatives about:
- Entry requirements
- Course options
- The UCAS application process
- Career pathways linked to different degrees
- Student life and support
For many students, these conversations provide clarity and reassurance at a crucial decision-making stage.
Please note that this event is taking place during the college day, therefore is only accessible to students.
