Be prepared
Think about what you really want to know, is there something specific you'd like more information on? A module you'd like to know more about, what career you could get after you graduate or how you'll afford to pay for your studies. Whatever the question, write it down so you don't forget! You can always take notes on the day.
Plan the day
Think about how you want to spend the day with us. What talks do you want to attend? Is there a support team you need to chat with? Would you like to take a tour of the campus and facilities?
Chat to our students
Our student ambassadors are current students and will be on hand to chat to you throughout the day about anything. You can ask them what their favourite spots on campus are or what advice they would give you about being a new student.
Cherish the moment
What better way to remember the day and experience, than to take notes and even photos!

No, you can arrive and leave when you want. Make sure you view the schedule to see what is happening throughout the day, so you can plan.
