Open Day event programme

Our courses are taught across four campuses/sites, each with its own unique feel and community. To help you make the most of your Open Day experience, your subject-specific sessions will be hosted on the campus/site relevant to your course.

There will be both subject-specific sessions and general talks on the day so please make sure you give yourself enough time to attend all sessions that are relevant to you.

General Talks

Most of our general talks will take place at our Headington Campus, in the John Henry Brookes Building. Our staff from admissions, accommodation and finance will be at Marston Road to answer your questions, and you can meet our admissions and accommodation teams at Wheatley Campus.
