PLAN YOUR UNDERGRADUATE OPEN DAY

Saturday 8 June 2024, 9.30am - 3pm

When you join us on campus, not only will you be able to find out all the key information you need, you'll be able to see and experience for yourself what university life is really like.

We have created a campus map which you can pick up on the day, or click here to download the map now.

Here are our tips for getting the most out of your day:

 

BE PREPARED


Remember to plan your journey and itinerary in advance and make sure you leave plenty of time to arrive before your first talk.

TALK TO OUR STUDENTS


Have an informal conversation with current students to learn about their student experience and their stories about student life.

TAKE A MOMENT


Take a moment to stop, catch your breath and take in your surroundings. Reflect on how you feel and think about whether you can picture yourself living here.

ENJOY YOURSELF


Make sure you plan time for food and drinks stops throughout the day and make use of any quiet spaces if you feel overwhelmed at any point.
