What to expect from an On Campus Open Day

If you'd like to attend any of our Open Day events you need to register in advance. Visit our Open Day page to view upcoming events and pick the one that suits you best. Follow the steps to fill in some details and book your place for one of our On Campus Open Days.

With a few clicks, you can create a personalised programme for the day. You can either do this when you register, or later via email.

• Book onto your chosen course talks and student support services sessions.
• View your session details and locations.
• Use the RSVP page to view and amend your chosen sessions.
• Add your sessions to your calendar or Apple wallet, or print a ‘printer-friendly’ version ready for the event.

Have a think about the tours and talks you'd like to attend. We recommend that you prioritise the subject sessions you want to attend first then fit the general sessions and tours/visits around them. When planning your visit and considering accommodation remember to think about where your course is based across our three campuses, Frenchay, Glenside, or in the city centre. 

If you need any help booking onto our events, please contact us using the details below.

On the day, you'll have the chance to ask our academics, student ambassadors and services staff all your questions. So it's a good idea to think about what you want to ask. It depends on which course you're interested in and what you want from your university experience, but some topics could include:

• what the university is looking for in your application
• common career paths for graduates from your course
• the variety of modules you'll be able to study on your course
• how the course is assessed
• the different accommodation options on offer
• support available to you while you're at university
• opportunities for placements and extra-curricular activities that complement your course
• the societies you can join.

Our Open Days are relaxed so feel free to dress casually. You'll probably be doing quite a bit of walking so wear comfy shoes and bring an umbrella just in case.

Please note: Dogs are not allowed inside University buildings on campus, unless they are assistance or guide dogs.

There’s lots to see and do at an Open Day, so arrive early if you can. You can find your sign-in point and time on your ticket. When you arrive, make your way to the sign-in points – look out for the teal signs with directions. There'll also be staff and student ambassadors (wearing teal polo shirts) to help direct you and give you a printed programme and campus map.

The Open Day closes at 15:00.

Check your booking session info for location and sign-in points. We have three main campuses in Bristol: Frenchay Campus, Glenside Campus and City Campus, as well as Bristol Zoo Project – look at the map and directions relevant to you.
