#CovOpenDay: What to expect

Choosing which five universities to put down on your UCAS application can be a stressful decision to make. What course should you apply for? What facilities does the university offer? How good is the student nightlife?
All of these questions can be answered by simply attending an Open Day.

Open days are great because they’ll give you your first glimpse of university life before making your final decision. So what do you need to do in order to make your Open Day experience as smooth as possible?

  • Print off your personalised programme and bring it with you on the day!
    If you’ve booked a place on one of our Open Days, you should receive an email confirmation containing a link to your online personalised programme. This will help you make sure you don’t miss anything important, as each schedule is perfectly designed for your individual needs and interests.
