Future Pathways - University and Careers

The UCC Curriculum

The University and Careers Counselling (UCC) Department is a team of three counsellors who work with students on an individual basis, and with whole year groups through both the Core programme and timetabled class. UCC counsellors guide students throughout their four years of High School in making informed decisions about their IB course selections, standardised testing, enrichment programmes, career options, and university applications for countries around the world. The UCC curriculum commences in H1 (Year 10) through the Core programme and builds up to H4 (Year 13), where students have more frequent UCC lessons and individual counsellor meetings (students/parents/UCC). 

In the British Secondary and High School Section, all high school students are inducted into a university and careers readiness platform called Maia Learning. Maia Learning is a comprehensive, data-driven online resource that can be used to research and explore enrichment programmes, course options and universities, and manage students' university applications. Students can search for universities and areas of study, as well as create a list of institutions they would like to explore in more depth. The platform also has a portfolio section to log all extracurricular and co-curricular activities done by students, which could be generated to create a resume for future career planning. 

In addition to working with students, the university counsellors also host parent presentations and parent coffee meetings to ensure that parents are informed and can best support their children during this process.
