HE Taster Day at Bicton College
On a beautiful Spring day, Bicton College hosted an Aimhigher Foundation degree taster morning for level 2 and 3 national diploma students. Five groups of students experienced a typical morning at Foundation degree (Fd) level.
- Animal Management students had a laboratory taster session learning about reactive chemicals and measurable results.
- Agriculture students experienced a taster of farming studies at higher education.
- Countryside Management students had a taster on sustainability
- Outdoor Leisure students had taster of FD Sports and Tourism.
- Horse Management students experience a taster of the dynamic assessment of horses.
After a break there was a “speed updating” session held for all the students in the main hall where student support, finance, a current Fd student and a top-up BSc student had three minutes to inform the audience of reasons to chose to go on to a Foundation degree or full degree. This panel were mercilessly thrown off at the three minute deadline; needless to say finance over ran but handed out valuable information sheets about grants, loans and support. The verdict was that it was a fun and informal way to find out about higher education.
