Open day: Saturday 21 October 2023

About your open day

You can arrive at this event from 9.30am, but check the time of your first booked session and try to arrive at least 30 minutes before this to allow time for registration.

All activities will start from 10am. 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 the campus, accommodation and library.

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 book 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.

Students show off their work at the Graduate Show.
