At Virtus College, students access an extensive network of employers and universities, gaining real-world experience and first-hand insight that supports both academic decisions and future ambitions.
Encounters with employers and Higher Education.
Our students benefit from a rich programme of direct engagement with industry and universities, helping them explore potential careers and make well-informed academic choices. We regularly welcome high-profile guest speakers from global organisations such as Google, Airbus and Amazon, giving students a unique window into diverse professional environments.
Beyond the classroom, students take part in trips to leading companies to experience different sectors first-hand. Encounters with Higher Education institutions are equally prioritised, with regular visits from university representatives, alumni and subject specialists who introduce students to degree options, campus life, and admissions expectations. Our students also attend university open days and fairs, enhancing their awareness of academic pathways worldwide.
We work closely with professional providers such as Meducators UK, delivering subject-specific experience through on-site workshops and specialised summer programmes.
The largest work experience network.
Virtus College is proud to offer one of the most extensive work experience networks available in Sixth Form education. We partner with companies across a broad range of industries, from engineering and finance, to medicine, hospitality, and real estate.
Students are placed in carefully selected companies aligned with their career interests, where they shadow professionals and gain meaningful, hands-on insight into how organisations operate. These placements typically take place during the summer, offering valuable preparation for competitive university applications in the UK, US, and beyond.
