Many of you will soon be applying through the UCAS process to universities. To ensure you gain maximum benefit from being an EES student make sure you refer to your EES participation on your personal statement. Also remember to include information of any other awards or accreditation you have gained as a result of your successful project eg a CREST Gold Award, Contribution to the Duke of Edinburgh Award and ASDAN accreditation if applicable.
Certain EES universities offer EES students special consideration on application, all details about such universities will soon be available on the website www.thescheme.org.uk but examples of the benefits currently on offer are:
