Top tips for your Open Day visit

Open Days are the best way to get a feel for life at university.

Plan your day

Take a look at the Open Day guide before arriving to find out when and where things are happening - this page will be updated ahead of our next event, so details of talks are subject to change.

We have academic department and general talks running all day, giving you information about your chosen course and the support we offer. Talks are repeated morning and afternoon so you’ll be able to attend as many as possible.
