Taster week

An in-depth experience of studying at university

These events will give you an in depth experience of studying a subject at university, as well as providing an opportunity to speak with current staff and students. Our Taster Week will include different taster sessions every day with different departments. All events are open to students attending as individuals or to teachers bringing groups of students. You may book onto as many or as few taster days that suit your interests.
