视频文字：
Queen’s graduate Zoe Salmon will today join thousands of school pupils at her old alma mater as she helps launch Queen’s Open Days and QU, a publication for prospective students.
The former trainee-defence litigator, who obtained a law degree and a post-grad in Professional Legal Studies from the Institute of Professional Legal Studies while at Queen’s, is the cover star of QU. She will personally hand out copies of the magazine to some of the 12,000 prospective students who will attend the University’s Open Days on Thursday and Friday of this week.
The magazine is the essential guide to student life at Queen’s for prospective students; offering advice and tackling issues from choosing accommodation to finding Belfast’s best shopping, eating and entertainment.
In an exclusive interview Zoe not only reveals her tips on how to get good A-level grades and make the most of being a student at Queen’s, but also why she left Blue Peter and how she turned down Jack Osbourne.
Zoe said: “I absolutely loved my time at Queen’s. First year is a fantastic mix of excellent teaching and an exciting social life. Queen’s gave me an all-round grounding and a great platform from which to base my career. I came away with a degree, great friends, invaluable life skills and much more. If any of the students coming to the Open Days do choose to come to Queen’s then they will have made a brilliant decision.”
Professor Ken Brown, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Education and Students said: “The choices students attending Queen’s Open Days will make in the coming months will determine their future. We want our Open Days to enable students to make the best possible decision. The publication of QU is a vital part of this.
“Students who do decide to come to Queen’s will be some of the first to benefit from our Degree Plus programme. It is designed to enhance employment prospects through non-academic activities such as sport, voluntary activities, travel and work placements. Queen’s will also offer students a more self-directed learning approach through our extensive pool of personal tutors and support services within the Students’ Union and Student Guidance Centre. We are committed to ensuring students who choose Queen’s have a first-class experience.”
During the Open Days students will have the chance to meet members of academic staff, as well as members of the Admissions Office and Queen’s Careers Service to talk about courses on offer at the University and subsequent career prospects. Students will also have a chance to find out about life at Queen’s by visiting the facilities available, including student accommodation at the £45 million Elms Student Village, the £9 million revamped Students’ Union and the £7 million Physical Education Centre (PEC).
Any schools or colleges who would like to request free copies of the new edition of QU for distribution to students, please contact [email protected] or call 028 9097 5332. More information about Queen’s Open Days and a pdf of QU can be viewed online at www.qub.ac.uk/opendays
