The purpose of this Wikispace is to inform Year 12 and 13 students about university life, to inspire them to achieve more, and to support them in making decisions about their next steps.

7 students ambassadors from LSBU feature in the space's short video clips. They offer an entertaining snapshot of life at LSBU.

Year 12 and 13 students can engage with this space in a variety of ways both structured and informal. Use the material as you wish. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

1. Use one or more of the clips to kick start discussion and debate, for example: Work Then Play: How do you balance work and play at the moment and how is this different at university? The Best Thing: Why go to university? Why not go straight to your first job?

2. Use one or more clips for assemblies

3. Use the space as source material for challenging research questions such as: Is university an expensive and unecessary indulgence? Is university essential to life success and ultimate happiness?

4. Build the material into a formal PHSE or study skills programme

5. Use this space as a template and exemplar for your students to make their own Wikispace for Year 10 and 11 pupils

6. Interact with the space by requesting membership and then contributing to page discussions and uploading response videos and additional resources and web links

7. Create additional pages telling inspiring student learning stories
