• Learn more about our research and facilities

• Get to know more about your fees and funding options
• Take a tour of Highfield Campus
• Chat to our current postgraduate students about their experience and get a feel for our postgraduate community

Practical information

The Visit Afternoons run from 1pm through to 4.30pm. They are held on our Highfield Campus (see how to get here). We encourage all attendees to come by public transport, but if you need a parking space please contact us and we will try to arrange one for you.

Your ticket allows you to bring a friend or family member with you. Please specify on the form how many guests you are bringing.

We provide free tea, coffee and water throughout the day. If you would like to have a meal whilst you are here you are very welcome to use one of our many campus catering outlets.

April – June events will be opened for bookings closer to the events.

International students

We host separate, independent visits for international students. If you're unsure about whether you classify as an international student, be sure to check out our fee status page.

Postgraduate Visit Afternoons take place on Highfield Campus and do not include a visit to the WSA campus. If you are interested in a course that is based at WSA you are still very welcome to attend any of the scheduled Highfield Campus Visit Afternoons and hear the postgraduate talk.  Please make sure that you specify on your Visit Afternoon registration form the course you are interested in. We will then ensure that an academic from WSA makes contact with you to answer your questions and we will help you to arrange a visit to the WSA campus at another time.

If you have any questions about our Visit Afternoons please do get in touch. Our postgraduate admissions team will be happy to answer your questions:
