Undergraduate applicant subject visits
Once you’ve applied to us, we normally invite you to come and visit the subject area you’ve applied to. This gives you a chance to see where you’ll be learning and to meet current students and staff to ask any questions that you have.
Because of COVID-19 we have to offer these subject visits remotely at the moment. Once you've applied you'll receive an email with all the details of how to join an online subject visit.
What to expect at your subject visit
At your online subject visit you'll be able to:
- speak with one of your future lecturers
- find out about subject-specific content from your chosen course
- attend a taster lecture
- take a virtual tour of our campuses
- chat to current students about their experiences
In some subject areas these visits may include an interview.
Assessment and selection days
In some subject areas, such as nursing and medicine, your subject visit will take the form of a selection or assessment event. Learn more about:
The email that you receive from us after you've applied will give you all the details of when these events take place, how to join and what to prepare in advance.
Ask a student
If you've got a question now you don't have to wait until your subject event. Some of the students on our student panel might be doing your course and they’ll be happy to give you an honest answer to your questions.
Questions about extra support
If you're a disabled student, have a long-term health condition or specific learning difficulty, our Enabling Services Team will be in touch. They offer special transition days, but you are also welcome to contact them with your questions.
