Hi Helen,
We have 'a day in the life of an academic' stories on our new students website http://www.brunel.ac.uk/services/headstart/understanding-university/a-day-in-the-life-of-an-academic. You could get students to explore the differences between teaching and learning in HE and elsewhere using these (or adapted versions).
Hope that helps!

Hi Helen,
There are lots of activities embedded in this set of webpages which are expressly designed to make explicit the development from school to uni study: http://www.reading.ac.uk/internal/studyadvice/NewtoUniversity/sta-newtouniversity.aspx.
Hope that's helpful,
Kim

Subject: activities for prospective students
Would appreciate any ideas for activities for prospective students to university regarding 'study skills' if anyone has a minute.
There will be @25-30 in the group who are all sixth formers on a summer school 2 day event here. Would like to make the two 1 hour sessions interactive if possible.
Many thanks
Helen Capstick
