Open Days aim to give prospective students the best experience and opportunity to find out everything they need to know before applying for a course. Booking a place before arriving helps us plan accordingly and communicate any updates to you.
There will be a programme of activity for the full duration of the Open Day, featuring presentations, talks, tours and workshops where possible, to help showcase all the different aspects of what being a student at the University of Greater Manchester is like.
You are welcome to bring friends, family or anyone else who will support you in making your University decisions.
Postgraduate information will be available on a one to one basis from 11:30am - 3pm. You are welcome to attend the full day to find out about support services, take a tour of the campus or ask any other non-academic questions you have.
The Open Day is designed to help you find out all the information you will need in one visit, whether you attend all day or nip in to ask just a few questions, our staff are on hand to support you and make your future plans possible.
Upon arrival you will find staff and ambassadors ready to help sign you in and get your day started. Please feel free to ask questions, making sure to ask ambassadors (and other students) about their experiences.
After the event you'll receive a feedback email, which should only take 2-3 minutes of your time. If you would like to go on to make an application, please visit here.
If you require support to attend such as a BSL interpreter then please get in touch with our fantastic support team at disabilityinfo@greatermanchester.ac.uk.
One of the team will discuss your needs and plans for the Open Day and arrange the relevant support for you. This is at no additional cost to you. Please note this must be done before arriving at the Open Day so we have enough time to put your support in place.
