About your open day

You can arrive at this event from 9.30am, with activities starting from 10am. Check the time of your first booked session and try to arrive at least 30 minutes before that booked session to allow time for registration

You can go on one of our tours before or after your booked sessions, so you may want to plan your arrival time to factor this in. Take a look around our accommodation and library or join one of our campus tours.

We recommend you allow three to four hours to make the most of your visit. This is how your day might look:

1. Register at least 30 minutes before your first session at the registration point specified in your email. Bring your booking reminder email (that we'll send to you the day before) which contains your QR code.
2. Attend your subject talk and other booked sessions.
3. Take tours, visit subject desks and other drop-in sessions. You can join these on the day.
4. Head into Brighton after your open day to explore our colourful city. Show your programme at select restaurants for discounts throughout the day.

Guests

You’re welcome to bring guests with you on the day. Some of our talks are very popular, so to ensure as many prospective students as possible can hear about their subject, we may ask guests not to attend the subject session. Of course, if there is space, we will do our best to fit additional guests on the day.
