As well as sponsoring the event, staff will be on hand to offer advice on studying and working at the University’s Milton Keynes campus on Avebury Boulevard.

The University’s admissions team will be able to sign visitors up to courses if they bring their qualifications with them on the day.

The team will be offering places for a range of courses, including, Accounting, Public Relations, Sport Science & Physical Education, Early Years Studies, Electronic Engineering, Graphic Design and Business Management – see the full list of courses here

The University will also deliver two seminars during the event:

• Friday 16th – Developing your leadership and management skills – 1.30pm
• Saturday 17th – Routes into teaching and working with young children – 1.30pm

There will also be a chance to speak to other local employers, including Tesco, Centre Parcs, Travis Perkins, Arriva, Champneys and TUI.

Head of Recruitment David Seaton said: “We are delighted to be supporting this community event.   As a University, we feel passionately that our local community should have the necessary information regarding future career opportunities and access to high quality, sector leading educational opportunities.

“During the event, our Student Engagement Team will be available to speak to you on a one to one basis and provide information on our courses.  If you already hold the necessary qualifications, you could be walking away from the event with an opportunity to study in September.”
