About the event

At a University of South Wales Open Day, you can expect a structured and engaging experience that helps you explore university life in detail. The day usually begins with registration, where you receive a timetable and campus map to guide your visit. You will then attend a welcome talk, introducing the university, student life, and key opportunities available.

One of the main highlights is the subject sessions, where you can meet lecturers, learn about course content, and explore specialist facilities. Throughout the day, there are also additional talks on topics such as accommodation, student finance, and applying to university.

You will have the chance to take part in campus and accommodation tours, often led by current students, giving you a real insight into daily life. An information fair is also available, where staff can answer questions about support services. Overall, the open day allows you to experience the campus, meet people, and decide if the university is right for you.
