When are the talks and tours taking place? 

There’s so much to explore when you visit our open day, from subject talks to campus tours to accommodation drop ins. 

You can find details of what’s going on in our UoN Open Days app – it’s the only place to find a full schedule of activities taking place on the open day, so make sure you download it before you visit. 

Check out more information about the app on our plan your day page.

 

What time do I need to get there? 

The open day officially starts at 9.30am but you don’t need to arrive at a set time, just pop in whenever suits you. Many of our talks are repeated and our drop-ins are open throughout the day. 

The only exception to this is if you’re attending one of our Veterinary Medicine open days – you'll need to make sure you arrive at the Vet School before the time stated on your booking confirmation email so you don't miss anything. 

To make the most of the day, we recommend downloading the UoN Open Days app in advance so you can see what is happening when. You can use the Plan feature to create a personalised plan for the day, which can help you work out when you need to arrive. 

If you’re travelling by car, it can be busy getting on to campus and parking up, so factor this into your plan to make sure you’re not rushing to your first activity. 

 

Do I need to book a place for the talks or activities? 

For most talks, seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. A small number of subject activities, such as Medicine and Law talks, require you to have a ticket - you can collect these on the day from the location specified in the UoN Open Days app

Tours are also not pre-bookable, so you can just go to the relevant tour departure point on the day. 

The only exception to this is if you’re interested in studying Veterinary Medicine – you need to book on to a specific Veterinary Medicine subject session at the point of booking your open day. 

For some activities, you may only be able to bring one guest with you. Your other guests are welcome to explore the campus, chat to our staff and students or grab a coffee while they wait.

 

 

On the day

I am running late. Will this be a problem?  

No. You don’t need to arrive at 9.30am. Most activities run throughout the day on a drop-in basis.  

You can find full details of the timings of subject talks and activities in the UoN Open Days app, so make sure you download it before you visit.  

 

What if I miss my scheduled talk? 

Most talks are repeated throughout the day, usually two or three times. If you miss all of the talks, our friendly staff and ambassadors will be available to chat to at the relevant subject or support service stand throughout the event – just drop by to ask your questions.  

You can also watch subject talks at any time on Open Days on demand

 

I haven’t booked. Can I still attend? 

Yes, please come to campus! Our staff team will register you when you arrive, just head to one of our Welcome Zones.
