By visiting our campus you will be able to gain a real insight into the student experience and life here. You will have the opportunity to find out more about the courses you are interested in, meet current staff and students, as well as attend sessions on accommodation, studying abroad and student life. We hope you enjoy your visit. There is no need to sign in on the day itself, just head to the first session you want to attend. Planning your day In order to get the most from your day we recommend that you take time to plan your visit. We do advise that where possible you arrive early to your sessions as some will be very popular; in these cases we may limit admittance to one student and one visitor or students only. As you make your way through the programme, you will see that next to the building names/session venues there is a number in brackets. This indicates the building number as listed on the campus map on pages 36 – 37 and will help you to navigate around our campus. If you are having any problems on the day ask a member of our open day team dressed in purple and they will be happy to direct you. STAGE Decide which subject sessions you want to attend – you can attend more than one, so just look at the timetable on pages 2 – 13 to see which ones suit you best. You can also find out more about your subject by visiting the relevant Subject Exhibition Stand. These are listed in the tinted boxes on pages 2 – 13. The stands will be open from 10am – 3.30pm and will provide you with the opportunity to speak with staff and current students on the course.

Have a look at the full list on page 14 – 15 and fit the ones you want to attend around your subject sessions.
