About the event

Open days at The University of Manchester give prospective students the chance to explore one of the UK’s largest single‑site campuses and find out what studying there is like. Visitors attending in person can join subject‑specific talks and information sessions about student life, providing the opportunity to meet academic staff, ask questions, and learn more about courses. The events also allow guests to explore the campus and experience life in Manchester’s dynamic city environment. Open days include guided tours, visits to key facilities, and opportunities to speak with current students about both academic and social experiences.

For those who cannot attend in person, the university offers virtual open days with live sessions covering UCAS applications, student finance, and all aspects of student life, with chances to ask questions. Whether in person or online, open days help students explore the university and make well‑informed decisions about their future studies.
