Peterlee Campus
Not sure what you want to do at college yet? There's still plenty of time to get sorted for next September, so come to our Peterlee campus college experience open night, on Monday 23rd October 2023, to find your perfect course today!
Please arrive before the 5.30pm start time.
What To Expect At the College Experience Night
As the name suggests, this night is all about you actually experiencing college for the first time!
On the night, students can attend a one hour session in the course area they're interested in. They'll get to directly see the area they'll be studying in, interact with our lecturers, meet other students also interested in the course and get a real flavour for what life as an East Durham College student is really like!
While the students are off experiencing college, parents and carers will be well looked after too! Our team will be running a presentation where they'll tell you all about the campus, student life, finances, bus travel and more, making it an ideal way to answer any questions you might have.
There will be time after the session for students to ask our lecturers any questions they may have.
Parents/Carers can also chat with our careers advice team about potential routes into a career, and for students who may need additional learning support and/or exam concessions our ALS team are on hand to answer any questions and talk about the support a student will receive when studying with us.
So, just to sum that up:
- Students can take part in a 1 hour session in course areas they're interested in
- Parents/carers can attend a presentation, chat with careers/ALS teams and also have a look around if you wish
To take part in the session, please arrive before 5:30pm to help us get you to the right course area.
No appointments are needed for the event. Just rock up on the night and we'll get you sorted. We're nice like that.
