We know that Open Days play a big role in helping you decide which university is right for you. From the course you want to take, to the atmosphere of the campus you choose, it has to be the right fit.
Our Open Days give you the opportunity to explore our campuses, meet with our academics and student ambassadors, attend course talks and have your questions answered, as well as finding out useful information about accommodation, fees and funding.
