Event Summary:
Taster Days on campus are an excellent opportunity for students to explore some of the subjects they may be considering studying at university and give them an insight into what it's like to be a student at the University of Northampton.
Full Event Details:
We aim to make our taster days relevant to your students by tailoring them to your needs as much as we can. We will always include a welcome session and campus tour, giving students the best introduction possible to our university, and will provide the opportunity to discuss specific requirements prior to booking.
During these interactive sessions there will be time to find out more about specific degree courses, mode of study and career opportunities.
Students will meet Academic staff and be escorted by our trained Student Ambassadors, having a chance to explore the campus including viewing our Halls of Residences, libraries, Student's Union and Student Centre.

Institution Profile:
Northampton is one of the youngest universities in the UK but we’re already leading the way in social impact. Change is the most powerful force for good in the world.
Without it, everything stays the same. Why do the same as everyone else when doing the opposite is when the exciting stuff happens?
That’s why we were one of the UK’s first ‘Changemaker Campuses’, cementing our mission to help people make changes that will transform their lives and those lives of the communities around them.
We want to break the mould of what university study can be, that’s why we built a whole new campus from the ground up designed around our students and we provide every full-time undergraduate student with their own laptop - contributing to the award of our gold status in the Teaching Excellence Framework, the highest ranking a university can receive.
