Eighteen ambassadors visited over 30 schools across North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Gateshead, Sunderland and Newcastle, delivering talks and workshops about applying to highly selective universities, and describing what life is like as an undergraduate student at Jesus College. The ambassadors predominantly worked with students from Year 9 through to Year 12.
The tour took place in the North East due to the College's commitment to the University of Cambridge Area Links scheme, which pairs Colleges with areas across the UK for outreach and access work.
Schools in the area who would like to be involved in future tours can find out more information on our school visits page. Day visits, residential events, teacher information sessions and taster days are also available. Please contact the Schools Liaison Officer for more information.
