We are excited to offer subject-specific Taster Sessions designed exclusively for Year 12 and 13 students, completely free of charge.
These sessions give your students a unique opportunity to explore their chosen subject and experience university education first-hand, helping them make informed decisions about their future in higher education.
Led by our expert academics, these interactive and informative sessions are tailored to a wide range of subjects, providing students with a valuable introduction to both university level study and potential career paths.
We offer flexible options – students can either visit our campus or we can bring the session to your school or college, depending on academic availability.
