Hi all,
I'm not a parent, but I am a profoundly Deaf student completing my Masters in Law at the University of Wolverhampton.
The reason I am posting to Mumsnet, and in particular on this topic, is that I would like to tell you about an Open Day that University of Wolverhampton is holding specifically for young Deaf and Hard of Hearing people over the age of 14 who are thinking about their GCSE options, A-Level options, or thinking about what degree course they would like to do at University. We are also welcoming parents of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children who are interested in finding out what university has to offer their child.
University of Wolverhampton Deaf and Hard of Hearing Learners' Open Day will be on Wednesday 15th April 2015, 10am - 3pm. All talks will be informative, inspiring and best of all… fully accessible! BSL Interpreters for the Deaf and Speech-to-Text for the Hard of Hearing will be provided.
Its a great opportunity for you and your child to:
• Find out which degree course can help you achieve your child's dream job
• Find out what support they can get during their studies
• See the University campus and experience the exciting environment
• Visit Student Halls, Walsall Campus
• Meet other Deaf and Hard of Hearing students studying History, Accounting, Deaf Studies, Video and Film Production, Law, English, and Special Needs Inclusions Studies!
If you are interested in attending, I would like to encourage you to book your place now at www.wlv.ac.uk/about-us/news-and-events/open-day/deaf-learners-open-day/ !
If anyone has any questions about this or would like further information, please contact me via this thread or Private message me and I will pass on the contact details.
