Notes
An Applicant Taster Day is more in-depth than an Open Day and gives you a more tailored experience, focused on the course and department you have applied to.
In line with current government guidance, our 2021 Applicant Taster Day events will now be delivered online. We will welcome you on to campus as soon as it is safe to do so, but in the meantime these events are a great opportunity to experience a flavour of student life and ask us your questions.
Here are some of the things you'll be able to see and do during your Virtual Applicant Taster Day:
Get in-depth information about your chosen course.
Hear about the student experience at BCU, and where your course will take you.
Take virtual tours of our campus and facilities.
Talk to your future academic tutors.
Our current students will tell you what it’s really like to study here.
Find out about finance, accommodation, student support and BCUSU.
Please take a look at the event schedule below. If you’ve booked a place, you’ll receive an email 30 minutes before the start of the event with a link to access the sessions on our website.
