Business Students in the Mock Courtroom

On Thursday, 18th June, Business students visited the University of Portsmouth to explore the wide range of accredited Business and Law courses available at the higher education institution.

The students benefitted from a personal statement masterclass that offered top tips on what higher education institutions look for in applicants. They also had the opportunity to speak with a current student to get a genuine insight into university life. During a campus tour, the group was thoroughly impressed by the university's high-end facilities, which include business boardrooms, a business assessment centre, a stock market simulation trading room, a lecture theatre, and the mock courtroom pictured below.

Sarah Price, Subject Tutor for Business, commented: "This was such an enlightening day. The students gained a full experience of what it’s really like to study at the University of Portsmouth and were able to ask questions about their future choices. Experiencing a university campus firsthand is an essential step in helping them make informed decisions about their next steps."
