Why join us for an Undergraduate Open Day?


Speak to real students:

  • No one knows what it’s like to study here better than our Student Ambassadors. They’ll be here to welcome you, usually wearing a pink hoodie!

  • Make sure you ask them any questions you might have about student life, and be sure to take a campus tour.

Take in the town:

  • We love showing off our beautiful town. If your have time, make sure you get a glimpse of the town you could be calling home, including our award-winning beaches and stunning seaviews.

Your questions answered:

  • Attend talks that we’ve written to answer your questions, not just sell the university.

  • Hear about your chosen subject, fees & finance, sporting facilities, accessibility, the application process, and more.

Meet our staff:

  • It’s really important you get the chance to speak to the staff who’ll support you throughout your time at BU.

  • That doesn’t just mean lecturers – we strive to offer face-to-face contact with representatives across the entirety of BU, from academic learning support (ALS) to wellbeing support and Residential Services.

Enjoy lunch on us:

  • We’re delighted to provide free lunch vouchers that can be redeemed at outlets across both our campuses to potential students visiting us at many of our Open Days.

  • Full details will be included in your confirmation email.

3 Essential Degree Decisions Tips for University Open Days

1. Always Book Ahead
Don’t just turn up! Subject talks, accommodation tours, and specialised workshops often have limited capacity and fill up fast. Pre-registering online locks in your spot, gives you access to the official event schedule app, and ensures you get notified of any last-minute time or location changes.

2. Plan Your Route & Look for Travel Bursaries
Open day travel costs can add up quickly, especially if you're visiting universities across the country. Check train or parking options early, and always check the university's website for travel bursaries. Many UK universities offer £20 to £100+ to help cover travel expenses for eligible prospective students.

3. Talk to Current Students (Not Just Lecturers)
Lecturers will give you the academic pitch, but student ambassadors will give you the unfiltered reality. Ask them the questions that aren't in the prospectus: What’s the accommodation really like? How is the local nightlife? Is public transport easy? What do you wish you knew before picking this uni?
