We hold regular events for prospective postgraduates, at our Central London campus, our main campus in Egham and online.
There’s plenty on offer, from discovering more about your course, meeting academics, exploring the university or mingling with current students.
The dates of our upcoming open evenings will be confirmed from September 2019 onwards.
Postgraduate visit afternoons
Come along to one of these events at our beautiful Egham campus to get a taste for life as a postgraduate student.
Your visit will begin with a campus tour given by a current postgraduate student, who will show you the key facilities on campus including the library, the Students’ Union and some of our dedicated postgraduate accommodation. You will then get a chance have your questions answered over a tea or coffee by a member of the admissions team and our Postgraduate Recruitment Manager, Greg.
Conditional on their availability, we will also invite a member of academic staff from your department of interest to discuss the courses on offer with you.
Book your place on our Postgraduate visit afternoon on 28 August 2019
