Â鶹´«Ã½AV

On Saturday 16^th November from 10am to 2pm, visitors at both the Â鶹´«Ã½AV’s and campuses can experience industry-standard facilities and equipment, attend inspiring guest talks, and explore student-led campus tours that will provide a glimpse into academic and campus life.

While guests can access everything they would expect to see at any open day, these new ‘industry driven’ events fully embody the Â鶹´«Ã½AV’s vison of Career-Powered Education and its ambition to support students in achieving their career goals.

Attendees can also learn about Bedfordshire’s financial support – including the new Scholarship Scheme which can provide students with up to £2500 per year – and other student services, as well as receiving guidance on the UCAS application process.

Additionally, all visitors can enter a draw to win a year’s worth of free on-campus accommodation.

Industry professionals from fields including creative arts, sports, biomedical science, business and psychology will be on hand to offer career advice and discuss career-focused courses at the Â鶹´«Ã½AV. Industry speakers, like Sam Rose, Head of Talent Pathway for Cricket East, and Paul Kingdon, a Police Forensic Practitioner, will share insights from their career paths to help students envision the possibilities a degree with Bedfordshire can unlock.

Sam Rose commented: “After graduating from the Â鶹´«Ã½AV, I felt well equipped and confident to be able to enter the world of employment. I’m so proud of the degree I achieved and the crucial foundations it set for me to succeed in future life as a professional in the sports industry.â€�

He added: “My advice to those about to take an undergraduate degree is to explore as many real-life opportunities as possible to become immersed in all aspects of your chosen career sector, whether through paid placements, volunteering or with the Â鶹´«Ã½AV’s exciting education partners.â€�

For those who are undecided about their field of study, the Â鶹´«Ã½AV will host a ‘Higher Education Choices Evening’ on Wednesday 4^th December, with another open day set for 26^th ÌýApril 2025.
