Parents/guardians are invited to join us on the morning of the last day of the Taster Course, arriving between 1030 and 1100 on Friday 2nd August. You will be able to attend our poster session, where attendees will be explaining their team's solution to a challenge set during the week, and attend a campus and facilities tour (please bring comfortable footwear if you wish to join one of these). The Taster Course will conclude with a session awarding prizes and certificates, followed by a buffet lunch. To help us plan for catering, and manage numbers, please make sure that you indicate if you wish to attend this when signing and returning the Taster Course Form Pack.

The course officially ends at 1300 on Friday, but you are welcome to join us for lunch afterwards if you wish.

If you indicated that you will be joining us on the Friday:

The Friday parent/guardian session starts at Building 40 (50.934906, -1.397164), refer to the map at https://maps.southampton.ac.uk/. Please note that we are renovating our parking infrastructure this year. There is no parking available at this building - if you indicated to us on the Form Pack that you require parking, please download and print the parking permit (in the Useful Downloads section below) and display it clearly in your vehicle windscreen. This will allow you to park at Avenue Campus at SO17 1ED (50.928393, -1.403182), which is ten minutes walk away. There will be some of our Student Mentor team along the route, wearing bright t-shirts and high-vis vests, to help guide you to Building 40 from Highfield Campus. If you are a Blue Badge Holder, please contact us by email if you would like an alternative parking option. There is a short-term pickup location and Pay and Display at (50.937008, -1.396053), to help with luggage collection. We advise you to park at Avenue Campus to join us at Building 40, then arrange with your child to return to this Pay and Display to collect them with their luggage.

If you are arriving by train, the U1A bus from Southampton Central will take you to Highfield Campus Bus Interchange Halls directly. For further information about bus services in Southampton, visit https://www.unilinkbus.co.uk/.
