Get Into... series

We can offer our Get Into... sessions to pupils virtually or on campus here at the University; whatever suits your needs. Sessions come in a range of formats, such as classroom workshops, lecture style presentations, pre-recorded webcasts and online interactive modules that students can complete in their own time.

The sessions can include a range of topics, some of which are more appropriate to deliver at certain times in the academic year, so we can discuss your specific needs and what you'd like to achieve. Some of the things we can offer are: 

• Hands-on subject tasters relating to a course or linked to what you are studying in your curriculum
• Subject specific presentations about the courses available and career routes
• Student life and budgeting sessions
• Student finance talks
• UCAS guides
• Personal statements workshops
• Study skills sessions
• Campus tours
• Interaction with our current students
