Subject Discovery Days
We offer the chance for post-16 students to visit our campus to take part in our Subject Discovery Days. Take the opportunity to explore more about subjects you are interested in and the doors that university can open in these fields.
What happens on a Subject Discovery Day?
These events give sixth form and college students the opportunity to:
- attend introduction and taster sessions in their chosen subject
- explore how school and university subjects relate to different career paths
- find out about Edge Hill University’s facilities, accommodation and campus
- find out more about Higher Education (HE)
- speak to current students and staff
- ask any questions they may have.
The clear link with careers means our Subject Discovery Days can make a useful contribution to a school or college’s Gatsby benchmarks. These events provide opportunities for deeper engagement with the subject, enhancing A Level or BTEC study, and enabling students to make an informed choice about HE.
“There are many degrees related to Geography that I can study, that I didn’t even know about!”

“The students enjoyed the day, they got an insight into the university and they really liked the student ambassador who was really helpful and informative about the campus and everything course related.”
