Come along to a Truro and Penwith College Open Event and find out more about our outstanding College.
What is a College Open Event?
Open Events are a great opportunity to experience the College before applying. It's a good idea to attend more than one event to make sure you see everything the College has to offer.
What can I expect from an Open Event?
When you arrive at the campus, you will be greeted by our friendly student ambassadors. They are the perfect people to ask about student life as they are all current students at the College.
You will be given a guide to the campus and facilities, which will include a map telling you where to find the subject areas you are looking for. Some of our other outstanding facilities will also be open, such as SPires and Senara, our on-site training restaurants, where you can grab a coffee and a cake.
If you're feeling lost, there are Student Ambassadors and friendly staff on-hand to point you in the right direction - just ask!
Our friendly Ambassadors are here to help!
How do I get the most out of an Open Event?
Our staff and Students Ambassadors are here to share their knowledge and experience, so it's a good idea to have some questions ready.
Use our website to research before you come to us. You may find a particular course you're excited about, which will help you pinpoint where you need to go and which questions to ask. Download our prospectus or pick one up at an event to see our full range of courses on offer.
You can come with your parents, your friends or even on your own, however, bear in mind that you will want to cover as much as possible about your chosen courses, so you may want to avoid the distraction of a big group.
Make sure you visit our Student Services to find out about finance, childcare, bursaries, travel, learning support or any personal support and wellbeing worries you might have. Our friendly staff can also advise you on careers and our award-winning Health, Wellbeing & Sport programme, which offers free sessions to help with your physical health and mental wellbeing.
Lastly, make sure you take notes! Our tutors will have printed course information for you to take away with you, but it's a good idea to jot down answers to any questions you might have asked; there's space on the back of the event guide to do this.
