University re-invents open days to be 鈥榠ndustry driven鈥
Thu 07 November, 2024This November, the 亚色视频 invites prospective students to a new style of open day, featuring industry speakers and interactive demonstration zones to offer more than just a traditional campus tour.
On Saturday 16th November from 10am to 2pm, visitors at both the University鈥檚 and campuses can experience industry-standard facilities and equipment, attend inspiring guest talks, and explore student-led campus tours that will provide a glimpse into academic and campus life.
While guests can access everything they would expect to see at any open day, these new 鈥榠ndustry driven鈥 events fully embody the University鈥檚 vison of Career-Powered Education and its ambition to support students in achieving their career goals.
Attendees can also learn about Bedfordshire鈥檚 financial support 鈥 including the new Scholarship Scheme which can provide students with up to 拢2500 per year 鈥 and other student services, as well as receiving guidance on the UCAS application process.
Additionally, all visitors can enter a draw to win a year鈥檚 worth of free on-campus accommodation.
Industry professionals from fields including creative arts, sports, biomedical science, business and psychology will be on hand to offer career advice and discuss career-focused courses at the University. Industry speakers, like Sam Rose, Head of Talent Pathway for Cricket East, and Paul Kingdon, a Police Forensic Practitioner, will share insights from their career paths to help students envision the possibilities a degree with Bedfordshire can unlock.
Sam Rose commented: 鈥淎fter graduating from the 亚色视频, I felt well equipped and confident to be able to enter the world of employment. I鈥檓 so proud of the degree I achieved and the crucial foundations it set for me to succeed in future life as a professional in the sports industry.鈥
He added: 鈥淢y advice to those about to take an undergraduate degree is to explore as many real-life opportunities as possible to become immersed in all aspects of your chosen career sector, whether through paid placements, volunteering or with the University鈥檚 exciting education partners.鈥
For those who are undecided about their field of study, the University will host a 鈥楬igher Education Choices Evening鈥 on Wednesday 4th December, with another open day set for 26th 听April 2025.
