Upcoming Online Open Evenings for CIRO ’ s Academic Programmes
Following the success of our previous events , we ’ re pleased to announce 2025 open evenings for people considering an academic qualification in rail .
These sessions have proven to be an invaluable opportunity for potential students to gain crucial insights into our programmes and understand how they can benefit their careers in the rail industry .
For anyone exploring an academic qualification with CIRO , our open evenings provide essential information and insight into the courses we offer and what they could do for you . Alongside key staff , current and former CIRO students from all levels of study join these sessions , providing their first-hand experiences to give a full picture of what it ’ s like to study with CIRO .
What to expect
During these interactive events , we will address your individual questions and cover key topics such as :
• Which level of the programme is right for me ?
• What funding options are available ?
• What is expected of me as a student ?
• How much time am I required to give to this ?
• The application process
• The support on offer
• The experiences of our current students and graduates
• A Q & A session .
