UNIVERSITY TASTER DAYS
Taster courses are provided by some universities and colleges to let you experience academic and social life on campus, before applying for a place.
Most taster courses include lectures, discussions, and tutorial sessions. You get a chance to meet departmental staff and gain a true, first hand experience of university life. These taster courses will also enable you to find out about the sports, cultural activities, as well as meeting new people.
