Recorded Taster Lectures

Watching and reflecting on subject focused taster lectures and talks can help you make a more informed decision about whether you would enjoy a subject or topic at university. This can help you think about the overall course and the modules you would or wouldn't like. Recording your academic reflections in your exploration log will give you content and inspiration for your university application writing.
