What is a subject taster session?
Our subject taster sessions offer students an opportunity to experience a university lecture or seminar, to get a taste of what studying at university is like.
Our interactive sessions are available for year 12 and 13 students who are considering their post-16 options, or for mature learners who are returning to education.
We have a wide range of subjects to choose from and our sessions are delivered both online and on-campus.
On the day you’ll join a group of other prospective university students for an interactive seminar, lecture or workshop. During the session you’ll learn more about your chosen subject, speak to our academic and teaching staff, and experience what it’s like to be a University of 91Ö±²¥ student.
