During the past week our Year 14 pupils visited Open Day events at Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Ulster’s campuses at Coleraine and Jordanstown. Pupils met with university staff and current students and had the opportunity to obtain detailed information and advice about the courses on offer and to have their questions answered. They attended tours of various departments and saw the high-class facilities available, as well as looking around student accommodation and recreational areas.
