Events and lectures
Taster Lectures
The University of Winchester offer taster lectures in a variety of subjects incuding geography to applicants who want a real taste of what university lectures are like. These lectures could consist of the the following topics:
- Disaster management and risk reduction in South Asia
- Environmental change and reconstructing past environments
- Skills for Geographers in the sustainable future
Experience Winchester Days
These events are 1.5 – 2 hours in length on a Saturday morning in late winter/early spring. They are interactive study sessions and give UCAS applicant students a taste of how the geography programme is taught at Winchester. Unlike a normal open day session, parents do not attend these sessions (unless under special circumstances) so it is close to a “real life” seminar/practical as possible, using practical spaces/labs/facilities.
