Studying for a trial period: taster sessions, school pupil programmes

Higher education institutions offer many different opportunities to try out academic life – particularly for secondary-school pupils. These activities usually last for a short period and involve a set amount of content, and are designed to help answer the question “what shall I study?”.

The following section describes some of these activities, such as taster sessions or school pupil programmes. Higher education institutions also hold other events that are useful in helping you decide what and where to study. For further details about these, ask at the institutions.
