Visitors can also book to see an apprenticeships adviser on the day and regular tours of the recently Ofsted rated ‘outstanding’ residential accommodation for students who choose to live on site.

The University Centre will also be holding an open day, at the same time, for students interested in joining specialist higher education courses, ranging from undergraduate to master's level, on offer at Sparsholt.

Our subject-specific tours will give students a fantastic glimpse into what life is like as a Sparsholt student and what exciting new facilities we have planned on campus for T Levels.”
