Your pre-event checklist
Make Open Day planning a breeze! Read through our helpful tips below to help your day go as smoothly as possible.
Once you’ve figured out your “can’t miss” sessions, add them to your planner so we can send you email reminders or let you know about any time changes. Have your list of questions you want to ask on the day ready to roll too – check out our blog (opens in a new tab) for a starter pack of what to ask.
And don’t forget to plan your journey ahead of time so you know exactly what train, tram, bus or route will get you here.
Check the weather forecast – an umbrella or a hat might be a good bet!
We care about making our Open Day as environmentally friendly as possible, so we encourage you to BYO water bottles and reusable coffee cups. There’ll be food trucks, a sausage sizzle and free coffee and fairy floss all day to keep you going.
If you want to leave Open Day with a Conditional Offer for your dream course (our Admissions team can walk you through it!), you’ll also need to bring the right documents with you on the day. Don’t forget to bring the following in digital or print form:
- Proof of ID (passport, birth certificate, etc)
- Academic transcripts
- If you’ve done previous study, a certificate showing your course completion
- A copy of your CV
If in doubt, check your course page (opens in a new tab) for a full list of admission criteria and documents you’ll need to apply.
