Further information
Thank you for booking a place on our Postgraduate Open Day. We look forward to seeing you soon.
The Open Day will run from 15:00 to 18:00, but the length of your event depends on the sessions you would like to attend. Around two weeks before your event, we will email you with a full schedule. This will include all of the sessions on offer and the timings of these, so you can plan your day in advance. We'll also provide information on how to find us and what to do when you arrive on campus.
We look forward to meeting you in person soon, but in the meantime, we have provided some information about the University, planning your day and how to get in touch with us.
Planning your day
When you arrive on the day, you will head to one of our three campuses to check-in. This will depend on your chosen course so be sure to check this in advance. To check-in, you will need to provide your QR code (this will be sent to you via email several days before the event). You will then be given an Open Day guide containing information about all the sessions available during the day, including which campus your course session will take place on.
Each course will have a drop-in where you can chat with our course tutors. Some will also have a presentation, so be sure to check the guide in advance so you can plan your day.
We will also have lots of optional sessions running throughout the day. Most of these will run on each campus, so you should be able to plan your day in advance based on the sessions you would like to attend.
The optional sessions include:
- Welcome talk
- Campus tour
- Accommodation tour
- Applying for a masters talk
- Fees and funding talk
- Take a different path talk
How to find us
