HEON taster days

Our Taster Days are for students in Years 10 - 13 and offer a full programme of activities and sessions delivered from our creative campuses.

The day introduces your students to university life and our specialist facilities - giving them a taste of the creative subjects they could study at university and an opportunity to meet student ambassadors to ask questions about student life.

We know that Taster Days can make a real difference to a student's aspirations, decision making and confidence when considering if higher education is an option for them.
