Throughout the Open Day attendees will have the opportunity to hear from current students, course leaders and tutors as well as tour our state of the art facilities.

  • There will also be a Drop in Zone, with a separate timetable to ensure that you have the opportunity to ask our Admissions team or other key staff any questions you may have.
  • Plus an opportunity to tour the building at 12:30pm and 1pm, on a first come first serve basis between talks (tours will last approximately 20 minutes).
