OPENDAYS TO BOOK ON TO ANY OF OUR OPEN DAYS PLEASE VISIT: www.cardiffmet.ac.uk/opendays or call us on: 029 2041 6042 Whether you've already made your mind up that Cardiff Met is the place for you; or whether you're still deciding, attending one of our Open Days is essential. It's the perfect chance for you to find out more about the course you're interested in, speak to staff and students first-hand and tour our facilities, accommodation and campuses. We run academic school Open Days throughout the year, which are relevant to your course and your area of interest.

Why Get Involved in Learning?

Living in such uncertain economic times, you may be worried about how you are going to develop your skills and reach your potential in such a difficult job market. Also, we understand all the commitments that come with modern life - work, family, and social-life - it’s not easy juggling all of these things and considering studying at the same time. You may feel you aren’t bright enough to study at a University, perhaps you didn’t do well in school and life has taken you away from education.

further course at Cardiff Met in September, many onto Foundation courses or our accredited programmes, and some straight onto degrees. This year that could be you!

The Cardiff Met Summer School is a great opportunity to try something new, for fun or to improve your career potential. Trying a Summer School course might just be the start of something exciting, which could open more doors for you!

Often, adults who have been out of study for a long time lack the confidence to return to learning or think people will judge them harshly. At Cardiff Metropolitan University, we offer a range of free and interesting learning opportunities. Our courses can help you to grow in confidence and help focus your career or learning plan. Our Summer School is open to all adults over 18 years old, regardless of their age, background, previous qualifications and experiences.

Arty Party!

Monday 3 and Tuesday 4 July

Academic Skills Thursday 20 and Friday 21 July 10am to 3pm Llandaff Campus These sessions form an exciting opportunity for you to improve your academic skills.

Focusing on four essential areas – writing, research, note-making and timemanagement – these workshops will be very useful in preparing you for further study, either at college or on one of our accredited Widening Access courses. In the ‘writing’ session, we will look at how you can write clearly and effectively. We will also consider some common writing mistakes and how to avoid them. Research is about finding the right information. In this session, we’ll explore the resources available to do this and the types of sources you might find. Note-making will show you how writing down information can be turned into a more important part of learning. By thinking carefully about what you’re reading or listening to, you can remember much more about the topic. Time-management will show you how to organise your commitments and easily keep on top of the demands on your time. Getting organised means you will be able to tick off each of the tasks on your 'to do' list and feel that sense of satisfaction that you are making progress!

Monday 10 and Tuesday 11 July

Community or ‘grass roots philosophy’ is an established practice where a facilitator will use a model of philosophical discussion, based on the Socratic method of ‘community of enquiry’, to facilitate group discussion for considering life’s big questions.

Community philosophy is about the process of philosophising. Its role in community and adult learning, when groups come together to discuss life’s big questions, has been successfully used as a model to help some groups to make a transition into mainstream society - this has included elite sports professionals, prisoners and people with mental health needs.

10am to 3pm Llandaff Campus This two day course has been designed to introduce you to the science that takes place in our baked products. This year’s summer school will focus on traditional Welsh cake products. We will look into the history of Bara Brith, Welsh cakes and more. Over the two days a number of products will be researched and produced. A sensory session will be set up to assess the quality of the products.
