Is an offer holder day different from an open day?
We exclusively tailor each offer holder day to applicants who’ve received an offer to study with us. Therefore, offer holder days are more specific than open days.
What to expect on the day
Subject taster sessions
The main difference from an open day is that during an offer holder day you get the chance to attend a subject taster session. In a friendly and relaxed environment, you will experience a university lecture led by one of your future tutors. During these sessions you will be surrounded by your classmates and given your first taste of what studying at university is like.

Meet the staff
At the end of every subject taster session, you’ll have the chance to join our informal Q&A. Ask subject-specific questions and gain the knowledge you need to take a confident step towards starting your course in September.
