Think unconventional.
Join us for a mini Open Day, complete with festive treats (well, mince pies)!
Did you miss our summer Open Days but really want to visit campus? Perhaps you want to take a look around before you submit your UCAS application in January. Whatever the reason, everyone is welcome. Bring your friends and family along too!
Our Open Day will begin at 10am, and will finish at 2pm. Please make sure you check-in at the
Ivor Crewe Lecture Hall (the big shiny building). The day will include:
- Tours of our campus and accommodation
- Accommodation Talk | 10.15 and 11.15am
- Student Finance Talk | 10.45am
- Student Life Talk | 11.45am
As this is a mini Open Day, we are sorry that there won't be any departments present.
Booking confirmation
Once you’ve booked your place we'll send you a confirmation email with more information on what to expect on the Open Day. No need to print the confirmation email as we'll have your details at our check in desks on the day – simple!
Special requirements
If you or your guests have any special requirements, please email us in advance so we can make sure your visit is as smooth as possible. If you're a visitor with a disability, please let a member of staff know so they can advise you on accessible routes around campus. If you would prefer a personal tour of our campus and/or accommodation, then let us know when you check in and we'll arrange for a Student Ambassador to guide you.
New contact details?
Should your contact information change, please drop us an email to let us know your new details so we can make sure you don’t miss out on any important information.
Travel and accommodation
Arrival
You're welcome to arrive any time from 10am (don’t worry, we always put the kettle on earlier than this in case of any early arrivals!). The Open Day officially finishes at 2pm.
When you arrive head to our friendly staff in the Ivor Crewe Lecture Hall who will register your arrival. We’ll only ask for your name so there’s no need to bring anything with you. Next, head to our Welcome Café, grab a free tea and coffee and put your feet up before the tours and talks!
