0:00 Hi, I'm Ben and I'm an associate 0:02 professor in the department of social 0:03 sciences at Birmingham City University. 0:06 Firstly, I'd like to congratulate you on 0:08 your offer to study a course from our 0:10 suite of social science programs at BCU, 0:13 which cover criminology, sociology, and 0:15 policing. We apply our research in real 0:18 world settings nationally and 0:20 internationally, working with 0:21 communities, prisons, hospitals, 0:24 schools, and the police to understand 0:26 and influence social change. We 0:28 encourage you to adapt your academic 0:30 focus as your expertise develops, 0:33 working across disciplines to explore 0:35 and critically analyze the everanging 0:37 world around you. Now that you have an 0:39 offer of a place to study with us, we'd 0:41 like to invite you to an offer holder 0:43 day at our city center campus. It's a 0:46 great opportunity for you to explore our 0:48 campus, learn about our support 0:50 services, and dive deeper into our 0:52 social science courses. You'll also get 0:54 hands-on in a taster session based 0:56 around key debates within criminology, 0:59 contemporary policing challenges, and 1:01 how sociology uncovers hidden patterns, 1:03 power structures, and social 1:05 connections. Offerh holder days give a 1:07 real insight into university life and 1:09 are an opportunity to meet people who 1:11 could be your future classmates. We hope 1:13 to welcome you to campus soon for a 1:15 taste of what your future could hold.
An Offer Holder Day is more in-depth than an Open Day and gives you a more tailored experience. You'll find out more about your course and hear about the student experience through taster sessions and opportunities to meet academic staff and current students. You will also have an opportunity to view our accommodation and chat to our support services.
If you have already been to an Open Day, this is your chance to explore your course and subject area in more detail and if not, you'll get an in-depth introduction to studying here.
You are welcome to bring one guest with you to an Offer Holder Day – and we provide a special programme of activities for parents and carers (outlined in the schedule below). We know that parents and carers have lots of questions and concerns about what university life is like, so we have provided dedicated time for them to get the information they need.
Imagine your first year of uni, but without the rent.
When you join us for an Offer Holder Day, you’ll be automatically entered into our prize draw to win a full year of accommodation at University Locks!
Your entry will be automatically registered upon check-in at the event.
