Applicant Event : Tuesday 14th – Thursday 16th July.
• The event is to build upon our virtual open event last month and now introduce students to our curriculum and campus teams. From the reception and grounds staff, through to their course manager and learning support team – the idea is for students to get a feel for their course and the environment of where they will be studying.
• The event will take place via Zoom webinars which means students / parents & guardians (and you if you like!) do not need to book and instead can find all the links they need for the event via our What’s On page: https://www.askham-bryan.ac.uk/whats-on/virtual-open-event-1
• You’ll see we start with an introduction to our campuses on Day 1 then followed by our course areas on Days 2 & 3.
• Before the sessions we would encourage students to visit our Find out More page where they can find our course guides, course and support overview presentations, and some virtual tour footage: https://www.askham-bryan.ac.uk/students/apply-now/find-out-more
