THE Warrington Campus of the University of Chester is holding an open evening and free public lecture to explore the impact of Warrington Wolves on the town.
On Tuesday June 14, between 4pm and 6.30pm, visitors, prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students will be able to tour the campus, to gain an academic overview from departments and faculties, and view accommodation and other facilities.
On the same evening, starting at 6.30pm, a free public lecture will explore the social and community impact of Warrington Wolves.
Mark Hoddell, Marketing and Recruitment Co-ordinator at the University of Chester, said: “Warrington is a university town with a Campus that specialises in delivering innovative and employment-focused courses in business, education, media, nursing, policing, social work and sport.
“This Open Evening is a useful starting point for prospective students to research their options. They will be able to have one-to-one chats with academic staff and take the opportunity to explore the academic facilities and student accommodation.
“With countless opportunities for you to mould and shape your education to suit your career goals, the Warrington Campus of the University of Chester gives you the freedom and support to develop yourself into a distinctive and highly employable graduate.”
