Each session will be focused on a particular course type, so please book the session which corresponds with the subject area that you have accepted or been interviewed in.

The sessions have been organised as follows:

• 9 -10.30am – A Level applicants
• 11am -12.30pm – Vocational applicants

If you are unsure which if your subject area falls under A Level, Vocational or Occupational please see the full list further down.

The event is jam-packed with essential information, talks, experiences and resources to get you College Ready and we highly recommend you attend to enjoy the best possible start to College life.

Supporting you to settle into the College and straightforward completion of your Start of Year Checklist, you will start your visit with an informative talk from the College’s Director, Lucy Maggs.

After hearing from Lucy you’ll break up into small groups of approximately ten for your tailor-made guided tour of the learning areas you are set to study in, essential campus locations and services available throughout your college journey, along with the friendly members of staff who will support you along the way from Student Services, Learning Resource Centres and the Career Zone to Food Outlets, Bus Stops and the Enrichment Zone, to name a few.

On the conclusion of your tour you will return to our Hub to explore stands covering our range of support services, subject areas, important information, activities, entertainment and games, while spending more time with your fellow new starters, all while enjoying free ice cream!
