Places are still available for Year 11 and 12 pupils from across the region for the event, which will showcase undergraduate study opportunities via ten subject-specific lectures and workshops. The master classes will be held at the University's Headingley Campus on Wednesday 27 February. Five subject master classes will be offered from 4pm, with a further five at 5pm.

Inder Hunjan, Head of Access and Widening Participation at Leeds Met, commented: "These master classes are invaluable as they will offer young people a real insight into higher education, giving them a unique opportunity to experience a real university style lecture first-hand, delivered by our outstanding academic staff and covering a particular element of undergraduate study from a course of their choosing.

"Year 12 students in particular are currently exploring their higher education options, and this event has the potential to be of help and have an impact on their decision making process at a crucial time in their life. "
