Choosing what to study at university can be a daunting prospect. Subject Insight Days are designed to give your students a “try before you buy” experience of different university subjects. Some days are devoted to a single subject, while others cover multiple related subjects, grouped together around a theme. For example, Explore Working With People includes social work, psychology, criminology, and education. This way, students get to experience subjects they may not have considered previously – and maybe discover their new passion along the way.
No matter the subject, you can expect a day of hands-on fun, including talks and workshops, myth-busting, student finance, campus tours and more. Your students will get to spend time with academics and current UEA students – they’ll deliver sessions and be on hand to answer any questions.
For students who want to combine practical learning and theoretical knowledge.
