We can offer bespoke visits or subject based days to meet your needs across all our campuses at BCU. These give students an insight into our wide array of courses, our industry standard facilities, as well as a taste of student life at BCU.
To book a bespoke visit, please email us detailing the number of students, the year group you hope to bring along, any specific subjects or facilities you are interested in finding out more about, as well as any suitable dates. We will then work closely with academic staff to bring this to fruition.
For post-16 students
With a tailored programme of activities and talks, our post-16 visit days aim to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to aid their transition from further education to higher education. Campus visits are an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand experience of the university environment. So, whether your students are just beginning to consider their options for the future or are ready to submit their UCAS applications – our student recruitment team can provide expert advice, guidance and support.
For pre-16 students
A fun introduction to higher education themes through a range of interactive activities, aimed at challenging assumptions and increasing aspiration levels in your learners. Pre-16 visit days include an interaction with us both before and after your visit, to ensure your students get the most out of their campus experience.
*Subject to availability, these visits can be arranged throughout the year and typically take place at our City Centre Campus.
