Who is this event for?

The Access Masters event features relevant information and practical advice for anyone interested in pursuing a postgraduate study.

The event is designed for current Bachelor’s students who are considering postgraduate degree studies, as well as for those who have already graduated from their Bachelor’s and are now looking for a suitable Masters programme in a recognised university.

Participants will have the chance to interact with admissions directors and education experts in order to receive essential insights about different programmes, funding opportunities, the application process, and career planning.

How should I prepare for the event?

It is best if you research in detail the offerings of the universities that will participate in the event in advance and then make a list of questions to which you still need specific answers from university representatives. One of the main benefits of meeting them in person is that they can provide you with valuable up-to-date information on topics ranging from programme content, reputation of the university, and admissions criteria, through to extracurricular activities, funding opportunities, and career services. Doing some prior research will help you extract information which is relevant to your individual preferences as well as make a good first impression on the school representatives on site.

Is there a fee associated with the event?

Registration and attendance at the event are free of charge. In order to avoid queues or delays during the event, we recommend that you register online in advance and bring a printed or electronic copy of your invitation with you.

Is there a dress code?

Business casual attire is recommended. Even if the purpose of attending the event is to get more information about Masters degree study opportunities, opting for a professional dress code, business etiquette, and respectful conduct will be a great way for you to make a good first impression and build effective communication with the university representatives.
