How to Get the Most Out of an Open Event

So the time has come. Exams are approaching and it’s time to think about your next steps. By coming to an Exeter College Open Event, you will not only get to see our fantastic specialist facilities but you will also have the chance to talk to our staff about what’s on offer and how we can make sure your next step is the right one for you.

Here are our top tips for making sure you get the most out of your visit.

  1. TALK to us – if you are unsure about what subjects to take then we are the best people to ask. Our lecturers will be able to inspire you and tell you about what you will learn from their course. We also have specialist advisers who can help you make informed decisions about your choices.
  2. Step out of your comfort zone – you might have always known which subjects to take next but maybe you should see what else is on offer, you never know – we might surprise you.
  3. Cover all your options – talk to our experts about A Levels, BTECs and Apprenticeships, that way you have all the information you need and you can make those all important decisions.
  4. Visit our facilities – whether you want to study construction, hospitality or art, it’s worth visiting the buildings where these subjects are based. You will have the chance to see the equipment you will be using on an everyday basis and speak to students who currently take those subjects.
  5. If you have a extra – curricular activity that you are interested in then make sure you take a look at the academies that are on offer with us. We have a wide range of academies covering subjects such as music, journalism, performing arts, sports and even academies aimed at getting you into world class universities.
  6. Have a chat with our current students – there is no better way to find out about college life. There will be student representatives based in all our city centre sites so if there is anything you’re worried about, just ask!
  7. Grab a free tea and coffee and just sit down and think it all through, that way if you have any more questions, we're here to help.
  8. Go to a Principal's talk – this is a great way of finding out about the college, our staff and students and how we can help you on your next steps. Check out a programme for times and locations. You can download one here.
