These are based on our London Road Campus.

Taster sessions will each be 60 minutes long, and you can build your morning timetable to suit you.

Details on the specific location of the Taster, including campus, room number, things you might need to bring, will be listed on the booking page links below, as well as your booking confirmation email (sent immediately after you complete your booking) and any reminder emails we send. 

You can choose up to three of the subjects below for your morning event. If there are more subjects you want to look into, you can visit our Virtual Taster Library and browse through activities for all our courses.

"Studying higher education at Shrewsbury College gave real value as the tutors’ stories about their experiences helped to contextualise course materials. Now I’m exploring a top-up year or a higher-level apprenticeship, with the goal of teaching others after gaining industry experience. My advice to new students is to stay organised, but don’t over-focus on just one area.”
