Each year we hold a number of subject taster days for Year 12 and Level 3 (Year 1) students across our three UWE Bristol campuses.

These events are designed to inspire and support your students' future career and progression choices. 

Each event includes lots of interactive opportunities to learn more about our courses, as well as the opportunity to meet current students and take a tour around our picturesque campuses.

For an example, you can download the itinerary from one of our recent events: Accounting and Finance, Law, Business and Management subject taster (PDF).
