Academic Taster Days

Our Academic Taster Days are a great opportunity for students in Year 12 to spend a day exploring a specific academic area at St Catz, meet with some current students, experience a taste of academic teaching and enjoy lunch in our temporary hall. Depending on the subject area, there may also be a mock interview or a guided workshop at one of the University’s libraries.

All of our Academic Taster Days are free to attend, with places being allocated on a first come, first served basis and Year 12 students attending UK state schools prioritised. These in-person events typically take place at the end of May.
