Introduction session

Introduction session

The first step on your Discovery Days programme!

Designed to increase pupils’ awareness and understanding of university, this introductory session covers the who, what, where, when and why of university life. 

Pupils will virtually explore the University campus to find out more about student life and the exciting opportunities on offer within higher education. Through a range of interactive, digital resources, your class will take a sneak peak inside our University to discover where students live, learn, make friends and have fun.

Pupils will also be guided through an accompanying ‘University Diary’ to reflect on their learning and personal aspirations. 

This session is a compulsory activity as part of your Discovery Days programme.
