How to book an Excellence East event

All events advertised on this website are open access, meaning we accept applications from students on an individual basis. We also facilitate school group bookings where we can, and teachers should email the relevant coordinator for details. 

Payment should be sent with your application form and cheques should be made out to the higher education institution organising the event, eg University of Cambridge, University of East Anglia.  Cheques will not be banked until you have been allocated a place.

Where an event is oversubscribed, places will be allocated as completed application forms are received. 

If you are not allocated a place, Excellence East guarantees that your cheque will be destroyed/shredded,

You will find more information and clarification on the Frequent Q&A page in the Student Zone.  It's a good idea to read this page before you apply for an event as it covers a good number of expected queries from students.

Step 1 REGISTER YOUR INTEREST ONLINE 

Firstly you should check our Full Calender of Events in the Student Zone.   If you see an event advertised that you would be keen to attend please click the column "Register Interest Here".   This doesn't commit you to anything until you actually send us the signed application form

So please note that registering an interest in any event is not the same as a confirmed online booking and it does not guarantee you a place - you still have to download the application form, complete it in the normal way and fax/post it into us (see the Students Frequent Q&A page for more details on complying with closing date requirements)

Step 2 DOWNLOAD, PRINT OFF AND COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FORM

Once you've registered an interest online, please click Download.  This will bring up a PDF of the application form which you can save and/or print off. 

The application form contains various sections and you should read them carefully before you start to complete it.   Please ensure you download the specific application form for your particular event, as there can be differences in the academic/subject criteria and the personal statement requirements will also differ from event to event.

If you are requesting financial assistance for an event make sure you fill out Section E correctly and attach the required documentation.

(From time to time we organise large lectures or film screening for which an online registration is sufficient to book a place and a notice to let you know this will download instead of the usual application form).
