Making the most of your day Thank you for choosing to attend The University of Manchester’s undergraduate open day. By visiting our campus you will be able to gain a real insight into the student experience and life here. You will have the opportunity to find out more about the courses you are interested in, meet current staff and students, as well as attend sessions on key issues such as accommodation and student finance. We hope you enjoy your visit.
There is no need to register on the day itself, just head to the first session you want to attend.
stage 1 Decide which subject sessions you want to attend – you can attend more than one, so just look at the timetable on pages 2-13 to see which ones suit you best. You can also find out more about your subject by visiting the relevant Subject Exhibition Stand. These are listed in the tinted boxes on pages 2-13. The stands will be open from 10am – 3.30pm and will provide you with the opportunity to speak with staff and current students on the course.
stage 2 We have general information sessions running throughout the day covering topics such as Student Life, Student Finance and Accommodation. Have a look at the full list on page 14-15 and fit the ones you want to attend around your subject sessions.
Planning your day
stage 3
In order to get the most from your day we recommend that you take time to plan your visit.
Finally, we have a variety of Student Experience activities organised such as campus and library tours. We also have a Student Experience Exhibition, which will have information stands on areas from Sport and Student Finance to Accommodation and Study Abroad. For a full list see pages 26-31 and plan these activities around your other sessions.
We do advise that where possible you arrive early to your sessions as some will be very popular; in these cases we may limit admittance to one student and one visitor or students only. As you make your way through the programme, you will see that next to the building names/session venues there is a number in brackets. This indicates the building number as listed on the campus map on pages 36-37 and will help you to navigate around our campus. If you are having any problems on the day in finding a building please ask a member of our open day team dressed in purple and they will be happy to direct you.

These are our tips on making the most out of your day: • Our open days are very popular events and sessions can sometimes become full. To avoid disappointment we suggest where possible you arrive early. • Check the programme to see when sessions occur for your subject of interest. You can attend sessions for more than one subject if you want to. • Decide on your subject sessions first, and work the general sessions around these. • Some sessions may be limited to one student and one guest when busy. • Campus tours run all day – work these around your subject sessions. • Most sessions finish ten minutes before the scheduled finish time to allow you time to get to the next session. • Wear sensible shoes and bring a raincoat or umbrella. Bring a bag for any literature you might pick up. • Don’t forget to make time for lunch. There are plenty of outlets around campus that are open all day, so you can have lunch whenever suits you.
