WHETHER sport is your subject or computing catches your attention, information on a wealth of courses will be at hand at the University of Worcester's open day.

Prospective students interested in either full or part-time study will be able to pick up details of courses including those in teaching, nursing, computing and social welfare.

Lecturers and staff will be on hand for the event, on the afternoon of Wednesday, October 26, at the university's campus off Henwick Grove, St John's, to provide information and answer queries.

People can find out about the possibility of starting a course in January and there will also be campus tours and advisers from accommodation, finance and registry admissions at the event. University vice-chancellor Professor David Green said: "We've seen a massive increase in interest from people across Herefordshire and Worcestershire who want to live at home throughout their full-time studies, so this open afternoon is an opportunity for everyone in the region to see what's on offer."

The campus will be open between 2pm and 5pm on the day. For details call 01905 855141 or e-mail: study@worc.ac.uk
