Support Your Child to Succeed at Cumbria
With so many opportunities available, choosing the best path can be daunting for a young person. And, watching your child take their first steps towards the biggest decision in their life so far – where to go to university – is equally as scary as it is exciting. You may feel confused, out of the loop, and unsure of how to support them.
We are here to help you prepare your child for university, by providing useful information about how to apply, secure financial support, how settle in, manage homesickness, and prepare for their future post-study. Prepare for the next step in their life together.
