Unsure of what subject you’d like to study at University? Our Masterclass Series takes place at various times through-out the year to give you a flavour of the different subjects we offer. 

We've had a fantastic lineup of academics so far that have delivered sessions across a range of subject areas. They are a great way to get a feel for what university lectures are like. 

To catch up on our series so far, take a look at our recordings below. Our next series will start again in Autumn 2024.
