-
Where can I find the list of upcoming dates and events for my programme?
If you are already enrolled on the programme, you can find your key dates here.
- Do I need to wear anything specific or bring anything to the one day campus events?
Unless communicated otherwise, participants should wear their own clothes, and their school uniform is not required. Participants should ensure they have weather appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes for on campus visits.
- Where do I go when I come to campus for an event?
We will be in touch in the weeks preceding a Senior Academy event to remind you of the date, provide you with clear instructions on where to join us on campus, and a list of anything that you may need to bring with you. Please keep an eye on your inbox when an event is coming up so that you are able to prepare.
- How do I reach a Senior Academy event?
Participants will make their own way to our on campus events. Parents and/or guardians are able to drop their young people to the campus. Whilst participants may choose to drive, we would highly discourage this, as parking is extremely limited and traffic around the university can be very heavy. Participants using public transport should retain evidence of their journey - simply bring your bus ticket or train ticket with you, and we will reimburse your travel.
- How can I contact the Senior Academy programme?
You can reach us via the Senior Academy email at senioracademy@qub.ac.uk
