Planning ahead for our November open days

Whether you’re considering your next steps after year 11, or thinking about returning to study, our open days are the perfect opportunity for you to gather all the information you need to make a decision about your future.

You’ll also be able to explore our facilities, get a feel for life at College and importantly, submit your application nice and early!

To get the most out of your visit, we’ve put together our top 3 tips for to help you prepare for visiting us at an open day.

1. Plan your visit

Which campus should you attend?

This will depend on what study programmes you’re interested in and where you live. To help you plan ahead, please see below for a guide on what you can study and where. Ideally you should attend the campus that offers the programme(s) you are interested in so that you can see the environment you’ll be learning in, however we will have staff available at both campuses to talk to you about all of our programmes.

Limited parking will be available on site with our Facilities Team there to guide you, but these events are busy so please allow yourself enough time to park, have a good look around, attend any talks that you are interested in and use our Application Zone to apply for your place.

2. Register to attend

Registering ahead means that you’ll receive updates and reminders prior to the event and if you have your QR code ready on arrival, we’ll be able to get you checked in speedily so you can grab your event map and dive straight into exploring the campus. Only the prospective student needs to register – parents/carers and family can come along too without registering.

As an added incentive, when you register you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win a £20 Odeon cinema voucher.

Our open days are your chance to get insider info. Think about what’s important to you—course content, learning support, life at College, career advice and enrichment opportunities such as trips and visits. Jot down some questions, so you don’t forget to ask when you’re here. However, if you do have any lingering questions after the event, we’re always happy to help and you can email or talk to our Course Enquiries team on the phone or through Live Chat.
