Learning more about your preferred course is an important part of an Open Day. We recommend prioritising your timetabled subject talks and activities, then using free time to fit in other elements of your day, such as attending general talks, visiting our Information Zone, or taking a campus tour. Don’t forget you can also visit our subject stands in the Subject Hubs at any point throughout the day, where you can chat with our academic staff and students to learn more about the course and ask questions.
An important part of the Open Day experience is getting a flavour of your preferred subject area. During the day, you can meet with academic staff and students on our subject stands, attend subject talks and activities, and explore specialist facilities specific to your chosen course. Our subject stands are available for you to drop into throughout the day.
