UCAS Fair Visit, Nov 2010

We visited a UCAS fair in Manchester to see and talk to universities from throughout the country. The fair housed a wide range of universities and focused on creative courses. There was lots of information available in a range of sources – prospectus’s, leaflets, examples of students work, tutors and current students. The tutors and students were very helpful and, where they could answered any questions we had. I think that it would be a valuable experience for someone who is starting to look at choices for university or possible further education, however, as I have already been through the UCAS process and to many UCAS fairs, I did not find the day very beneficial. Some of the universities did include advice about building portfolios within their information leaflets, which I think will be helpful when building my own portfolio.
