What To Expect

There is a lot to see and do at an Open Event, so we will provide you with an event guide when you arrive which will help you find your way around campus. Each course will have a dedicated location on the campus, so we recommend that you choose a selection of courses that you are interested in from your guide, and head over to those locations for more details. When you arrive at your destination, our friendly team of tutors and staff will be waiting to give you more information about the course and help with any queries you may have.

TALKS & WORKSHOPS

There will be fantastic activities and experiences to take part in around the campus to give you an understanding of the excellent facilities and opportunities that are available. Make sure you take full advantage of these workshops and informative talks throughout the event.

You will also have the opportunity to speak to other departments at the College, including Student Services, Careers, Enrichment and more.

Be sure to pick up as much information as you can. There will be a lot to take in during the event, so taking some information away with you will make your discussions at home a lot easier. Grab a prospectus and other literature before you leave and make notes on your event guide while you talk with members of staff.
