Open Day
Want to experience life on campus? Our annual open day, held in June of each year, is a great opportunity to investigate programmes and careers at information sessions and interactive workshops. You can meet other students and prospective students, discuss study options with our programme tutors and get a feel for life on campus.
If you’re a senior secondary student you can attend a programme of your choice through our ‘Student for a Day’ scheme. It's an ideal opportunity to get first-hand experience, talk to tutorial staff and current students about the programme, check out the facilities and have a look around our campuses. Contact your school career adviser for details.
