Campus Visit Days For Undergraduate Applicants

It is often helpful to visit the universities you’ve applied for so you can ask questions, learn more about the course you want to study, see the facilities and meet the staff and current students. 

Campus Visit Days are invitation only events open to applicants for subjects that don't require audition or interview, are not taught at partner colleges and are not Art and Design courses.  

There will be various talks throughout the day on the subject/subjects you have applied for along with various University support services and Students' Union events, clubs, and sport societies.  You will also be able to have a tour of the campus led by our student ambassadors and visit some of our Halls of Residence.
