Sociology Students Visit University of Leeds

On June 16, Notre Dame’s students were welcomed to the University of Leeds to gain an insight into life in higher education.

150 of our A-level Sociology students took part in a taster lecture on the subject of Crime, then found out about routes into studying sociology at Leeds. Their morning ended with a student ambassadors Q & A session, information about the university’s Plus Programme, and a highly useful myth busting session.

Head of Sociology Annie Townend said, “It was a great experience for our lower sixth students. They experienced a mini lecture and then information on a range of routes into a Russell Group university. Finally, students were able to ask current University of Leeds students a range of questions. These ranged from what Sociology courses were like to how easy it is to make friends at university. A great experience for our lower sixth cohort in preparation for their UCAS applications.”
