University taster days
Taster days are designed for students who are thinking about studying at the University of Worcester.

Top tips for your students who are attending a Taster Day
- Students don’t have to be an expert or have any prior experience in the subject
- Students can state that they have attended a taster day in their personal statement, this is a great way to show they have researched the university in more detail
- The students are able visit the campus and learn more about what we have to offer
- Remind them to bring a packed lunch or money to spend at the cafes on campus
