Students must wear full academy uniform and bring their chromebook to take notes. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain first-hand experience of a university setting and to ask any questions about higher education. There are limited places available, so we encourage students to return the attached permission slip as soon as possible. We look forward to an inspiring and informative visit!
