Open Days and other Events

Visiting a university you are considering applying to (or have already!) is a great way to get a feel for the place, helping you make an informed decision when making your choices. Our Open Days offer a mixture of presentations and tours, alongside activities and workshops led by our own students and Student Life team, designed to give you a snapshot of what being a UoB student is like.

Every Open Day is slightly different but you can be assured of a friendly and welcoming experience whether you choose to you can come along solo, or invite friends and family along to make sure you ask all the right questions.
