Book your place on an Applicant Visit Day

Our Applicant Visit Days are the perfect opportunity for you to discover more about the course you could be studying and the place where you could be living for the next three or four years.

You’ll be able to spend time in your chosen department, meet current students and academics and hear more about the content of your course. We’ll show you how you can tailor your studies to suit your own ambitions and you’ll have time to ask as many questions as you like to make sure you get a real feel for your course.

Our Applicant Visit Days are taking place on:

  • Saturday 8 February
  • Saturday 15 March
  • Saturday 5 April
  • Saturday 26 April

However, not all subject areas will be present at every Applicant Visit Day, so search for your course below to see the available dates for your subject.
