Higher Education taster days

As part of our offer, we invite groups of Year 9-11 students for a day at one of our Partner Institutions to give them a taste of University life and what it is like to study at Higher Education.

Throughout the day, students will take part in subject taster sessions and a campus tour, learning about the courses and opportunities available within higher education. They will also get to meet student ambassadors, current university students who can share their first-hand insights into their experience of university.

These are taster days are free to attend with lunch provided, and we are able to provide transport if required. Maximum group sizes per school may vary.
