What is an offer-holder visit day?
To begin, it is important to know what offer-holder visit days are. On this day, students are the main protagonists. Everything is organised in a way where they will get experience, build knowledge and develop an overview of their chosen course at the University of Birmingham.
This day aims to give prospective students and their guardians an insight to university life and what to expect throughout the 3-4 years of their degree, whether that is in relation to their academic life or any social aspects. Furthermore, students will not only learn more about their time at university, but they will also get the chance to ask questions about how they can make the most out of their time here to maximise their chances of achieving their future goals.
To summarize, offer-holder days can drastically change your initial perception of university life and help you make more informed decisions moving forward.
What happens during the day?
On the day of the event students will go through a series of talks including but not limited to an employability panel where they will have a Q&A session, talks from first- and final-year students in their course as well as alumni, a taster lecture and an introduction to all the modules they will be exposed to.
Having university students that are in different stages in their academic journeys allows offer holders to have friendly conversations with one of the ambassadors during the networking session and gain meaningful advice, alongside some lovely refreshments!
What will you take away?
One of the major benefits of attending is that you can clear up any doubts or misconceptions of the course and know what you are getting into. Lastly, it also gives you a chance of exploring part of the beautiful campus and experience the environment you will be surrounded by.
Attending the offer-holder day will benefit you in various aspects. It will be an insightful experience where you will gain advice and be encouraged to think about what choices you want to make going forwards. Moreover, this is an exclusive opportunity to clarify doubts and meet new people before starting your academic year.
