Thinking about your next step after school? An open day is the perfect way to figure out what feels right for you. Here are 11 reasons why you won’t want to miss it:
1. See our campuses for yourself
Websites and prospectuses are great, but nothing beats walking around, getting a feel for the atmosphere, and seeing if it feels like somewhere you belong.
2. Meet your future teachers
You’ll get to chat with the people who’ll be teaching you. It’s a chance to ask all those questions and see how they bring their subject to life.
3. Explore the courses
Whether you know exactly what you want to study or you’re still deciding, you can find out more about each option and see which subjects excite you.
4. Talk to current students
Who better to tell you what it’s really like than people already studying here? They’ll give you honest insights into the good stuff (and maybe the tough stuff too).
5. Get inspired about your future
You might discover a course or pathway you hadn’t even considered; something that could open doors later on.
6. Check out the facilities
From labs to studios to study spaces, you’ll get to see where you’ll be spending your time and how well-equipped everything is.
7. Feel the atmosphere
Every school or college has its own personality. Open days are the best way to find out if the culture and community suit you.
8. Bring your family along
If your parents or carers want to help you make the decision, they can come too. It’s reassuring for everyone to hear the same info at the same time.
9. Get answers in real time
No waiting for email replies or scrolling through FAQs, just ask your question and get an answer there and then.
10. Plan your next steps
You’ll leave with a clearer idea of what you want, and the confidence to start making decisions about applications. Our Careers Team will be on hand to talk more about career goals and pathways too.
11. Apply on the day
If you already know this feels like the right place for you, why wait? You can start your application while you’re here, with staff ready to guide you through the process and answer any last-minute questions.
