Year 13 will be travelling to the Open Day at Queen's on Friday 10th September. This is a very important opportunity to hear and speak to university staff and students. So just turning up on the day is not an option ! Be prepared.
- First, decide which departments you need to visit. You will not have time to visit all of the university.
- Then think about the type of questions you will ask. Please consult any of your careers teachers if you need guidance.
Please enjoy the Open Day but be sure to make the most of it.  You will probably need to bring a brolly just in case.
