The University Roadshow
ER&M are the founders of “The University Roadshow” which sees approximately 80 schools and 30 universities participate each year. The University Roadshow is a brilliant way of reaching a large number of students in a short space of time. ER&M launched The University Roadshow in September 2016. It is a 2-hour event designed to increase accessibility for higher education providers to meet Year 13 and Year 14 students who are thinking of the next step in their educational career. The ER&M team present for 30 minutes on the application process, university life, fees and finance. The following 90 minutes is a more ‘traditional’ careers event whereby students get a chance to circulate and mingle with the University representatives in attendance who will have literature and promotional material to hand out.

“We’ve been working with Education, Recruitment and Marketing since 2018. The team always go above and beyond to assist representatives from different Higher Education Institutions across England, Scotland, and Wales when they visit the North of Ireland. The University Roadshow is an excellent series of events which allows us to visit a range of schools and colleges across Northern Ireland. The team are knowledgeable, taking time, care, and effort to find out about the partners they’re working with and at times representing at certain events.
They make attending events 100 times easier with good planning, communication, and assistance with aspects of getting kit to and from different events. We’ve seen our recruitment numbers improve from NI since beginning to work with ER&M. We look forward to working with the team going forward.”
Paul Lawlor – Outreach Officer – University of Cumbria
“Northumbria University took part in the University Roadshow for the first time in Autumn 2022 and were thoroughly impressed with the organisation and communication from the ER&M team. The team were extremely accommodating and flexible, and a pleasure to work with. The events themselves were a fantastic way to reach new audiences as well as engage with teachers. The format of the roadshow enabled students to find out more through the presentation, so they were switched on and prepared to talk to universities during the fair aspect of the event. All the events Northumbria participated in were well attended and gave us the opportunity to speak to a range of students from Northern Ireland, each member of our team commented on the quality of the event and the students. As a result, we have already booked more events in 2023 and look forward to attending again in the future!”
Kelsey Blemmings - Student Recruitment Coordinator - Northumbria University
“The ER&M Roadshow is a fantastic event for networking with new schools and colleges and getting the opportunity to speak with students in different locations within the Northern Ireland region. The ER&M events are well-organised, as well as being interactive, helping students make informed decisions on their next steps, with Higher Education being a potential pathway. It is really nice that students can explore and speak personally to Universities within England, Scotland and Wales and learn more about what universities have to offer outside of Northern Ireland.”
Dylan Dunbar – Student Recruitment Officer – Liverpool Hope University
“We've taken part in the roadshows for a number of years now and they are a such a great opportunity to speak to a large number of schools and students in a short space of time. Always well organised and well attended, Fiona and Chantelle are also fantastic to work with and flexible when needed. Looking forward to being part of them for 2023.”
Chris Mullen – Education Liaison Manager – Edge Hill University
“The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) have been committed to the ER&M roadshows for many years now. The preparation and organisation of the Roadshows by the friendly staff is outstanding. The opportunity for us to have a presence at so many Schools and Colleges is valuable to our commitment to give advice and guidance to students who are thinking of their next pathway in education.”
