About the event

Open days at The University of Manchester offer prospective students the opportunity to explore one of the UK’s largest single‑site campuses and discover what studying there might be like. Attending in person, visitors can take part in subject-level information sessions and talks about the student experience, allowing them to meet academic staff, ask questions, and learn more about their chosen courses. These events also give students the chance to explore the campus and experience life in Manchester’s lively city environment. Open days include guided tours, visits to key facilities, and opportunities to speak with current students about both academic and social life.

For those unable to visit in person, the university also offers virtual open days with live sessions covering topics such as UCAS, student finance, and all aspects of student life, along with opportunities to ask questions. Whether attending on campus or online, open days help students make informed decisions about their future studies.
