Most Scottish universities and colleges, as well as a good number from England and Wales, are represented at a Higher Education Fair at Hutchesons' in June. In addition, Open Days provide an opportunity for you to make sure you choose a university and course that suits your own needs. You can also visit Oxford and Cambridge colleges to get a flavour of university life there.
Hutchesons' leavers in 2008 are now attending all the Scottish
universities, as well as Oxford, Cambridge, London and the 19 universities in the UK's Russell Group. They are taking courses that range from Accountancy, Aero-Mechanical Engineering and Ancient History to Sociology, Software Engineering, Veterinary Medicine and Zoology, as well as everything between. Around 50 pupils are studying Law or Medicine.
There is a multitude of opportunities you could explore, including the Year in Industry scheme, voluntary work overseas or in the UK, or undertaking course-related employment. Former pupils can talk to you about their own experiences.
Former pupils, university staff and practising professionals in the fields of business, science and engineering, medicine and law visit the school to talk to interested pupils in an informal setting or invite pupils to their workplace. We help all S6 pupils to develop their interview skills, for university applications and for work experience and job applications
