| On Monday 14th November Swans International School hosted their first annual University conference at its secondary school in Sierra Blanca, Marbella. Over 300 students and parents from 10 different schools along the coast had an opportunity to talk with representatives from 18 British and 5 Spanish well respected universities that are ready to offer international degrees in over 32 different disciplines. Everyone left with lots of useful information and plenty to think about when preparing for the move to university. Students were encouraged to ask a range of questions including which academic results are required for different subjects or how to complete the application process. Each university applicant could provide details concerning the subjects the applicants asked about and future studies they wanted to pursue. The overall atmosphere at the conference was very positive and all involved took advantage of the chance to inform themselves for their future education. | ||||||||||||||||||
