HE Choices: Why Go to An Open Day? With Ruth Walton From The University Of Winchester
30th September 2016 @ 11:20 - 12:20
In this session Ruth Walton considers why it is so important to go to a university Open Day.
It is vital that students visit the university that they are applying to; to see if it is right for them and to ensure that it meets expectations. From the university perspective, Ruth will talk about attending with parents/guardians and why students should try to visit more than one university. This session will look into this further and will provide some tips on how to make the most of your Open Day visit.
Suitable for: All Year 13 students.
Preparation or Pre-Reading: We recommend that students prepare in advance some questions relevant to their potential HE application and planned visits.
The IT Setup: The setup is similar to Skype, using a pc and webcam, although students take part as a group with the image projected on a whiteboard rather than as individuals in front of lots of pcs. Dedicated videoconferencing equipment is also compatible if available in the school. We will work with your IT department to ensure everything is set up and working prior to the event. The sessions are generally limited to 3 or 4 schools to maintain the interactive nature of the experience.
Booking a Place: If you have a group that you would like to take part in this event, please contact us via email.
After the Event: If students have any questions following the video conference, please encourage them to email Winchester.
