Open Days are your opportunity to find out more about postgraduate study, funding and accommodation options.
You will also meet academic staff who can discuss the applications process, course details and more about our faculties.
Throughout the afternoon you will get to: attend a welcome talk, including details of support while you study with us, postgraduate funding, including loans of over £10,000, and your accommodation options, attend a small group meeting with a lecturer from your course of interest, tour the campus and view our facilities, including a postgraduate studio flat.
We understand you may be interested in speaking to us about different courses - we will do our best on the day to ensure you speak with staff from all these courses, however we ask that you select your main course of interest so we can contact you if a member of staff is unavailable for any reason.
