How can I get to know about the university?

Each university makes links with the local community through colleges, visits for families and friends, and 'taster' sessions - short courses where you can find out about a subject. These are all ways to get to know more about the university and how it works. You can get more details by looking at the universities linked to this site (look at the "Gateways to the universities" section).
