Open Days

The Department of Information Studies holds open days throughout the year for prospective undergraduate/postgraduate students and their parents/guardians. These open days provide an opportunity for applicants to visit the Department of Information Studies (and the Management School for prospective BA dual honours programme students) and to talk to staff and students about the programmes, the Department and what to expect from the academic and social aspects of studying at the University. Our Undergraduate open days also include visits to other parts of the University, and we typically incorporate a tour of a University Halls of Residence and the Students´ Union.
