The University of Gloucestershire is hosting a series of free subject taster days throughout February and March 2026 for prospective students. These events are designed to give school pupils and local residents a chance to try out university courses and meet academic staff before making their final application choices.
A variety of sessions are available for people to attend, starting with a Law session on February 27 at the Oxstalls Campus in Gloucester. In March, the university will hold workshops for Health and Social Care on March 4 at the new City Campus, followed by sessions at the Park Campus in Cheltenham for Cyber and Computing on March 9, Architecture on March 17, and Media and Communications on March 20. A Business project event will then take place on March 25 at the Oxstalls Campus. Prospective applicants can find more details on the university events page.
These sessions follow the recent opening of the new City Campus in the former Debenhams building, which was officially opened by HRH The Princess Royal on January 16, 2026. This £75 million site in the city centre now houses several departments, including education, psychology, and social work, as well as a new public library and a health and wellbeing centre.
The Law and Business events are typically held at the Oxstalls Campus in Gloucester, which features a dedicated mock courtroom for legal practice and the Gloucestershire Business School. According to UniTasterDays, these workshops are intended to help both students and parents feel more confident and informed about the university application process.
