University & Careers Advice

Milton Abbey offers a comprehensive employability, careers and UCAS (university application) advice service, which focuses on individual support and focuses on your interests and skills.

Alongside various career and university visits, we run a range of in-house events, from talks and workshops run by alumni (former students) and specialist education providers, to individual advice sessions run by our Head of Sixth Form.

Our support process runs throughout your time in Sixth Form, not just in the final few months. Your House team support you in building your CV and making sure you are both developing your skills and showcasing your achievements. Students receive specialist advice as they research and finalise their higher education or career choices. Our aim is to ensure that you leave Milton Abbey heading in the direction that best suits you and that makes the most of your strengths.
