🧭 What Is an Open Day?

• A day when prospective students (and parents) can visit a university.
• You’ll tour the campus, accommodation, and departments.
• Speak with lecturers, current students, and admissions staff.
• Attend sample lectures, talks, and Q&A sessions.

📌 Why It Matters:

• Brochures and websites only show part of the picture.
• Visiting in person helps you understand if the university feels right.
• It’s your opportunity to ask personal questions that matter to you - about your course, support, social life, and more.
