UCAS Discovery Maidstone 2026

UCAS Discovery Maidstone 2026 is a local university and careers event bringing together universities, colleges, employers and qualified careers advisers in one venue to help students explore post-school options. The event is aimed at students considering university, apprenticeships or school-leaver programmes and offers face-to-face conversations with over 100 institutions and employers, subject spotlight sessions, and short films in the UCAS Springpod cinema.

Attendees can speak directly with university and employer representatives about entry requirements, course content, accommodation and student life, and receive personalised guidance on applications and alternative routes such as degree apprenticeships. Qualified careers advisers are on hand to explain UCAS points, personal statements and next steps.

The event features a dedicated Employer and Apprenticeship Zone and subject-focused sessions to help students compare disciplines and career pathways. The Maidstone event takes place at the Kent Event Centre, Kent Showground, Detling (ME14 3JF) on Tuesday 2 June 2026 from 09:30 to 15:00.

Schools and individual students are encouraged to book places in advance via the UCAS registration link or through their school Enet account to ensure entry and access to school-group resources.
