Students who would like to visit the university should check the list of visiting dates on our website to select convenient date. Please remember that we need at least two week’s notice to arrange your visit. If you have problems completing the online booking form, you may send a copy to us by post, fax, or an e-mail attachment. You will be asked to choose two possible visiting dates. In this way, if booking for your first choice exceeds a certain level, the university will offer you an alternative date stated on your booking form. On the day of your visit, perspective students should arrive at the university between 9 and 9.15am. Please go directly to the main library building. Students are encouraged to attend with their parents. Although two guests is the normal limit, you may bring an extra person if you inform us in writing beforehand. On our busier visiting days, guests and parents will unfortunately be unable to visit academic departments.
