Leicester Castle Business School Applicant Taster Day activities - 14 March

An Applicant Taster Day is an unmissable opportunity to get hands-on with your chosen course. Tailored for DMU applicants and the course you've applied for, we'll be holding demonstrations, exercises and activities that give you a flavour of what you'll experience when studying here at DMU. Some sessions are subject to availability and have limited spaces, so we recommend booking early.

Below is a list of the activities running on the day for Leicester Castle Business School courses. Take a look at what's going on for the course you've applied for, then book your place on the form underneath.

    As organisations continue to grow and develop, those with the knowledge and understanding of how people can shape and influence change are in a great position to help businesses succeed.
