I hope you’re keeping well and enjoying your classes and the gradually brightening spring weather.
I’m writing to confirm the arrangements for our trip to Brighton and Sussex Universities next Tuesday 28th March. If you are on my list for this trip, I have also sent you these details by email.

- Leave Oxford: 07:45

Although you may be applying for a different subject at these universities, the taster lectures have been chosen to represent the two largest subject groups among applicants to these universities and will cover topics of general interest to everyone. They will nevertheless give you a good idea of what the university lecture experience is like, whatever your subject, and the facilities available at university. I hope that you are sufficiently intellectually curious to engage and appreciate the lectures regardless of topic. I for one, a linguist and educationalist, am looking forward to broadening my knowledge in both subject areas.
Please note the slightly earlier departure time of 07:45. As usual, if you are late, we will simply leave without you and you will miss out on this exciting experience and insight into the university experience that awaits you next year.
Please also note that, although the trip itself is free, the cost of lunch is not included: you will be able to buy lunch on the Sussex University campus, where student ambassadors will direct you.
I look forward to seeing you and these two university campuses next Tuesday. If the weather holds, the South Downs National Park, which we will pass through and where the campuses are located, should be especially beautiful.
