Subject sessions
Live subject tasters and masterclasses, led by our lecturers give you the chance to meet academic staff and get a great insight into your study area of interest. You are welcome to try out areas of study that you may not have had the chance to experience at school, allowing you to explore different options as you think about your future career path.
We also offer talks from industry experts that can boost your current studies. These talks are amazing opportunities to network with professionals and for you to demonstrate that you're interested in gaining knowledge outside of the classroom.
Our sessions are often followed by an informal Q&A, giving you the opportunity to meet staff and current students to find out everything you'd like to know about life as an undergraduate student at Herts.
Take a look at all of the sessions and sign up for as many as you want! Be sure to check back here as we update the sessions regularly.
