The day kicked off with an introductory speech by Mr Worrallo and Dr Field, outlining the university application process. This was followed by subject-specific sessions. We were able to explore certain subjects in much greater detail and this gave us an idea of what a typical university course consists of.
The day continued with talks hosted by an impressive range of guest speakers – specialists in their industries – which included architecture, arts, engineering, environment, finance, law, medicine and technology.
They each talked about their respective career progressions and offered valuable insights into the qualities that contributed to their successes. Among the key takeaways was the importance of determination and resilience. Most fascinating, however, was how all three speakers highlighted the importance of being a valuable team player and the power of patience – certainly qualities worth embracing in our own lives.
As the afternoon progressed, the focus shifted toward exploring potential career choices. From engineering to the arts, there were multiple sessions led by seasoned professionals who provided valuable insights into their fields. These sessions featured engaging Q&A segments, allowing us to gain a realistic perception of job expectations and responsibilities, together with anecdotes of some of the most unforgettable moments in their careers.
To finish off, there was a networking session, giving pupils the opportunity to engage with the professionals and to gather any final pieces of advice from the best in the business.
It was an immensely beneficial day, and thanks must go to all speakers and the university team.
