What should I ask about first-year experiments at Open Campus?
First, ask which first-year courses include experiments, when they take place, and how substantial they are. Also ask whether students work individually or in groups, what equipment and safety instruction are provided, how preparation, reports, and assessment work, what support is available, and whether a laboratory visit or trial activity is possible. Because details vary by faculty, program, and academic year, verify them with staff and the official curriculum.
Key points
- Confirm the experimental courses, timing, frequency, and content.
- Ask whether experiments are individual or group-based and what equipment and safety measures are involved.
- Ask about preparation, reports, assessment, and support for students.
- Check whether you can visit or try the laboratory activity if available.
Things to check
- Experimental content and timing vary by university, faculty, program, and academic year.
