What's a university webinar like?

Once you've signed up, we'll send you everything you need to join the live session online at the scheduled date and time.

Our webinars are designed to give you useful, practical information about the topic you're interested in. You'll hear from our friendly academics and support teams, who may use presentations, videos and interactive features to bring the session to life.

Most webinars also include a Q&A, giving you the chance to ask questions and get answers from our experts.

No, not at all. 

For most of the webinar, our team will talk you through the chosen topic. There may be a chance to ask a question towards the end, but there's no obligation to if you'd rather not.

No. When you join a webinar, your camera will automatically be switched off and your microphone muted, so all you need to do is listen.

If you want to ask a question in the Q&A, you'll be able to type it and send it through.
