Tours last approximately one hour and show you all the main facilities on campus, including the Guild of Students, Sports Centre and Library.
The tour will require you to walk round the campus so comfortable footwear is advised. If you, or anyone who will be accompanying you, has a disability or any other special needs please advise us when booking your place. This will allow us to make all the necessary arrangements to ensure your visit is as easy as possible.
Please note that the tours do not include visits to individual departments or halls of residence.
If you wish to visit any individual department, please contact the department of interest directly to see if this is possible (please note this cannot be guaranteed due to other commitments within departments).
If it is not possible to arrange an individual visit, please come along to our next Open Days on 24 and 25 June 2010 when most departments will be open and Admissions Tutors and students will be on hand to answer any queries you may have.
We also have a 'show flat' which is available to view after the tour and will give you an insight into what student accommodation looks like. This is based at Shackleton Hall on The Vale and is a short walk from the main campus. Speak to your campus tour guide on the day who will advise you how to get there.
Places are strictly limited and it is advisable to book one week in advance. Please note, our campus tours are primarily for prospective students and therefore we advise that you only bring one or two guests with you. This will enable us to maximise the number of places available.
