Schools, colleges and community
University experience days
A fantastic opportunity for your students to visit the University of Leicester and explore what studying at university is really like! At each event, there will be opportunities to tour our campus, speak to current students and get involved with interactive activities.
Prior to the event, we will arrange to come into your school or college to speak about the Benefits of Higher Education. This can be delivered to all students attending or whole year groups.
Who can attend?
We have a number of university experience days targeting different year groups. Each school or college can bring up to 40 students per event. All events will take place at University of Leicester main campus. All events will run 9.30am – 2.15pm.
