HUNDREDS of prospective students descended on the University of East London (UEL) for an open day on Saturday.

Taster sessions and talks about courses were held at both UEL's Docklands and Stratford campuses.

Visitors also toured the university's libraries, laboratories, studios and IT rooms and played interactive Xbox computer games to get a feel for the UEL degree in computer games technologies.

Tahseen Hashmi, of Leytonstone, attended the day to find out more about marketing degrees.

He said: “I also studied for a postgraduate in business administration at UEL and I think it’s a fantastic place to come back to, I really like the diversity here.”
