Undergraduate Open Day for
School Groups
We may be able to offer bespoke content for your school group, such as a student-led welcome session for your students. Let us know on the booking form if this is something you'd like to discuss.
If you book your school group, we'll drop you an email to confirm details of who is attending from your school. This will allow us to send Opend Day information directly to your students.
