Open Days for Offer-holders

All applicants who receive an offer will also receive an email or letter inviting them to attend one of our Offer-holder Open Days. These Open Days run in December 2012 and from February to late March 2013; they are designed to give you a fuller picture of life and work as a student on your particular course. Each day also includes short tours of the campus and the department, a visit to catered and self-catered accommodation, and opportunities to meet staff and current students.

If you are an offer-holder, to find out which dates are available and to book your place, please visit the URL detailed in the invite email or letter, or contact our Undergraduate Admissions Secretary if you have received neither of these. If you cannot attend any of the available dates, you can attend one of the University's campus tours, which run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during semester.
