City College Plymouth is looking forward to welcoming prospective students back to the campus as it prepares to host its popular Year 11 Taster Sessions for the first time in more than a year.
Perfect for those in their final year of school, these short, hands-on sessions are ideal for those still unsure about what they would like to study in September or if you have a specific career in mind, these tasters are a great way of finding out what City College has to offer.
With a session for each main subject area, lecturers are already pulling together a schedule of activities for all who sign up to pay the College a visit over the June half-term holiday. Those interested in science will get to take a look at their own blood under a microscope, whilst those who are planning to attend the media session will experience the College’s green room before heading outside for some drone action (weather permitting).
Marketing and Student Recruitment Officer, Ellen Cotter, said: “After such a long period of not being able to hold taster sessions, our lecturers have gone all out with planning some truly exciting activities that will showcase what the College has to offer.
“There will be gel polish and nail art techniques for those hoping to study beauty therapy, whilst aspiring engineers will get to create some microcontroller simulations. City College prides itself on its highly experienced lecturers who value the importance of hands-on, practical learning, and they are looking forward to hosting these popular sessions once again.
“Our courses range from entry-level right up to degree-level and our staff are fantastic at supporting students of all abilities and backgrounds. We also offer outstanding facilities, a diverse range of enrichment activities and a wealth of support services.”
