Open Day FAQs

Yes, we ask for all visitors to book onto an open day to ensure that you receive all of the relevant information you need leading up to the event.

However, if your visit is more spur-of-the-moment, you’re welcome to come along and register on the day.

The day is programmed to start at 09:30 and end at 15:00, but normally people start to turn up from about 08:30 so that they can grab a drink have a look around campus while it is a bit quieter.

The day is completely flexible, and you can arrive and leave when you like. We recommend that you read your programme, sent to you in the week leading up to te Open Day, and plan around the course talks that you are interested in attending.

On arrival, please collect your goody bag and register at the registration point in the Main Reception.

The registration team will talk you through the programme for the day and answer any questions you may have.

You are more than welcome to bring family and/or friends with you – it’s great to share observations and hear other people’s opinions. You and your supporters don’t have to do the same activities. We have a talk specifically for your supporters at 11:15-12:00 where they can have a coffee, learn about how they can support you and they can ask any questions that they have.
