Careers & University entry

The Careers Department provides advice and information on both future careers and entry to university.

We attach particular importance to the task of advising students about the right path to take after leaving school. A team of experienced staff, working under the direction of the Head of Careers, is available to help students whenever key decisions need to be made. The resources of a well-organised library are supplemented by university visits, talks by visiting speakers and the opportunity for work experience. There is an annual Careers Convention, where students can find out about a wide range of careers and professions.

More than 90% of our leavers go on to university to study courses ranging from Medicine to War Studies and from Archaeology to Multimedia Technology. See the panel below for a list of universities and colleges to which recent RGS leavers have gone on.

All Sixth Form students at RGS are also eligible to join Network OR, a scheme which offers extra help to pupils making their university choices by putting them in contact with an Old Reigatian currently at university reading a similar subject. Once at university, the scheme aims to put them in touch with an Old Reigatian in their chosen career. The help given will range from advice via email or telephone about choices after university, to opportunities for work experience.
