Post-16 University Experience Days
A fantastic opportunity for Year 12 students to visit the Â鶹ÊÓƵ and explore what studying at university is really like! At each event, there will be opportunities to tour our campus, speak to current students and get involved with hands-on, interactive activities.
Most of our university experience days will run from 9.45am to 2.30pm and are completely free to attend. We are inviting expressions of interest from both school groups and individuals and will confirm places within eight weeks of an event to allow ample time to plan your visit to us.

What do previous attendees think about our University Experience Days?
I loved how friendly everyone was and the fact that it was so easy to ask questions!
It was great that I could experience what an actual lecture would look and feel like - and being able to see the different buildings and different parts of campus.
