The University of Suffolk says:


"An Open Day is your opportunity to find out everything you need to know about becoming part of our student community. We structure the event to give you plenty of opportunities to find out about your subject(s) of choice, tour our beautiful campus and specialist facilities, visit our accommodation, and explore the fantastic support available to you throughout your studies.


The programme for your event will be available before the event date, but all Open Days are structured in the same way. You should therefore plan to:

  • Registration from 9.30am in our Waterfront Building

  • Listen to our Welcome Talk at 10.30am, to find out more about the University of Suffolk

  • Attend a subject talk — find out more about the course you would like to study

  • Join one of our Student Ambassadors on a campus tour, or pop over to our on-campus accommodation ‘Athena Hall’, to visit a show flat

  • Make time to chat with our Student Services about the support they can offer while you study and find out about the student experience by meeting some of our Student Societies

  • The event closes around 2.00pm, however if you would like to take a wander around Ipswich, we’re only a short walk away"

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?
