About the Education Liaison team
The Education Liaison team:
- co-ordinates Kingston University's contact with schools and colleges; and
- promotes awareness and helps to raise aspirations for students aged 10–18, via outreach work.
All of our activities have a widening participation focus. We aim to increase the participation rate of those students that have been traditionally unrepresented in higher education.
Discover the impact the Education Liaison team has by viewing our year in numbers or reading testimonials from students and teachers.
Who we work with
We currently work with a selection of schools and colleges in our local area. All of our activities have a widening participation focus, with the aim of increasing the participation rate of those students that have been traditionally unrepresented in higher education.
If you haven't worked with us before but are interested in doing so please contact Ana Baker (anamarie.baker@kingston.ac.uk or +44(0)20 8417 3134).
