Mission cards
This PDF includes the four mission cards. These will also be available for students to pick up and use at the UCAS Discovery event.
These cards have been created to support students attending a UCAS Discovery event to ask exhibitors (such as universities, colleges, and apprenticeship employers) questions that will help them explore their options in greater depth. As well as providing question prompts, they also leave space for students to make note of any other questions they might like to ask.
