Open Events

Please note: All events have been cancelled until further notice.

Following government guidance, we have regrettably made the decision to cancel all future Petroc events until further notice. These include our June Open Events and Year 10 Taster Days.

We are currently working hard to bring you an online, interactive Open Event experience, accessible from your home. The online event will give you the opportunity to find out about courses, take virtual tours of our facilities and ask our lecturers any questions you may have. Look out for updates on our website and social media about these events in the upcoming weeks.

Please contact marketing@petroc.ac.uk if there is anything you would like to see at these online events or for further information. We understand this is an unsettling and unprecedented time. For more information on how this situation may affect you please take a look at our information page for year 11s.
