Year 11 Half Term Taster Day - Mon 24th February 2025

EDC Half Term Taster Day - Do you fancy trying something a bit different this half term?

Then why not have a break from your revision, TikTok and Netflix and come along to our exciting half term taster event for our Year 11 applicants.

The event is a great opportunity for you to get a real taste of life as a student here at East Durham College, see the facilities and meet our fantastic lecturers - so you’ll have no worries about starting your course in September.

You will take part in some course-related sessions within the curriculum area you have applied for. These will be interesting, enjoyable and help you to develop new skills - alongside other future EDC students just like you. That way, you can meet some of the other people you are likely to be classmates with when you start college in September.

The event is on Monday 24th February 2025, from 10am till 2pm, please see the attached timetable for more details.
