Why you should attend a Postgraduate Open Event at BCU… even if you’re already a BCU student!

If you’ve already studied an undergraduate degree, either with BCU or another university, you might be wondering what the point is in attending a Postgraduate Open Event. We’ve got six reasons why coming to have a look around is anything but pointless.

Get to know our tutors

If you’re currently an undergraduate student at BCU then you may think you know everyone there is to know, but your current lecturers may not be the tutors on the postgraduate course you’re applying for, even if you’re applying for a similar subject.

Each tutor can give you an insight into their specialisms and the modules that they teach. Come along to an Open Event to get to know them and what you could be learning about at postgraduate level.

Chat to postgraduate students

Coming along to a Postgraduate Open Event gives you the chance to make connections with current postgraduate students. They’re the experts on postgrad study and life so come along with your list of questions.

Explore STEAMhouse

Our brand new £70 million building, STEAMhouse, is a centre for technology, innovation, creative thinking, prototyping and business development. For postgraduate students, the opportunities it will provide through collaborative working with industry are unrivalled – making it the perfect place to make connections in industry or launch your own business!

At our Postgraduate Open Events, STEAMhouse will be open for tours so you can learn how it will benefit you during your studies.

See how we can support you

If you’re a current BCU student, you’ll know the services that we offer; from career advice to mental health support, but we understand that your needs and worries might change as you transition from undergrad to postgrad study.

Coming to one of our Open Events means you can chat to our staff to better understand how and when they can help you out at postgraduate level.

Get expert advice

Once you've come to a Postgraduate Open Event, you'll have all the information you need to apply to us. If you're a current BCU student, you can learn about just how it easy it is to apply with our fast track application.

Staff will also be on hand to help you with your finance questions. Make sure you ask about our Graduate Scholarship! If you're a current BCU undergraduate student or BCU graduate then you could be eligible for a 20% fee discount to support your studies.

If you're switching subjects...

If you’re thinking about studying a completely different subject to your undergraduate degree, then attending a postgraduate event is essential!

Tutors can help you out with anything you might need to do in preparation for your new course and help you feel more prepared, even if the subject is completely new to you.
