Top tips for you Online Open Day

During the online Open Day, you will get the chance to take part in live chats with academics and students ambassadors in certain sessions. These live chats are the best place to ask any questions you may have about Queen Mary.

To ensure you get all the information you need, think about questions to ask ahead of time. Some examples that might help you consider your own questions are:

• How much of my timetable will be split between contact time in lectures and seminars and private study?
• How much private study is required from students on the programme?
• What stand out aspects are you looking for an applicant to cover in their personal statement?
• What are some of the main career options for my chosen subject?
• How does the course help students integrate and socialise with each other?
• Does the course have visiting guest lecturers and industry experts?

Try to find a space where you are seated comfortably, and have good WiFi connection. The last thing you need is for the connection to go while your in the middle of an online taster lecture! Log in 10 minutes before the Open Day begins, to make sure everything is set up. Here are a few things we recommend you have near you:

• Laptop charger/plugpoint
• Drinking water
• Pen and notepad
• Snacks
