Open Days and Virtual Events
If you are considering studying at Edge Hill University, the best way to gain an insight into the student experience is to discover our stunning campus for yourself by attending an open day.
While we are still taking bookings for upcoming open days, our August 2020 open day may become a virtual event. We want to ensure that you are still able to discover what Edge Hill University has to offer and get answers to all of your questions, if it is not possible to visit our campus.
We will continue to carefully monitor government advice regarding events and communicate any changes and all key information to anyone who books to attend.
