Curriculum Networks
Aimhigher Sussex have set up six curriculum networks, each hosted by a partner university with representation from FE and professional practitioners.
Curriculum Networks events provide interactive and engaging taster opportunities for students that will enhance curriculum knowledge and give the opportunity to sample study at higher education level.
These events are free for Aimhigher cohorts excluding travel and staff cover (lunch is provided for some events). See below for all upcoming subject related activities including the free Curriculum Networks activities.
