We’re really looking forward to seeing you on the day. While we’re sure you’ll have fun, there’s a lot happening in a lot of places, so it might be a little confusing. Here are our for our top tips on how to get the most out of a University Open Day:

  1. Plan, plan, plan – With over 50 departments and nearly 40 colleges to visit right across the City, there’s plenty to keep you busy. That’s why it’s important that you have a plan of attack.
  2. Bring a notepad and pen – It can be really helpful to jot down some of your initial thoughts and reflections on each department or college that you visit, so that they don’t all end up blurring into one in your head.
  3. Ask questions – Remember that the Open Days are all about YOU gathering the information that you need. Remember that the Open Days are all about YOU gathering the information that you need. We’re not going to judge or assess you in any way, all that we care about is making sure that you have the information you need to make an informed choice.
  4. Follow up – You may well come away from our Open Days with more questions than when you first came, and that’s okay. Take the time to reflect on what you’ve learnt, remember that it’s okay to change your mind, and make sure that you get in touch to ask any questions that you still have.
