Postgraduate Open Day

One of the main events in Postgraduate Discovery Month is our Postgraduate Open Day, taking place on Wednesday 25 February 2026, from 13:00 to 18:00. Enjoy informative talks, campus tours, academic sessions, and more. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in university life and learn how we can help you achieve your goals.

We’ll also be hosting subject-specific sessions giving you the opportunity to speak to our tutors across our schools, so you can delve deeper into your area of interest. These sessions are a fantastic opportunity to ask questions, explore course content, and discover how our programmes can help you achieve your goals.
Booking for these sessions will open closer to the time.
