Campus Offer Holder Day: 23 April 2025

This event has now ended. The information below is for reference only. 

The Campus Offer Holder Day 2025 is for any applicant holding an offer to study degrees in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. It's the perfect opportunity to meet our staff, students and fellow offer holders. You can also find out more about your subject and explore the campus and the city. You'll receive an invite to the event when you receive your offer.

Offer Holder Day Agenda 

Here's what's on offer if you join us on campus. 

Central Sessions: Talks on a range of topics from accommodation to making the most of your degree.  Repeated throughout the day. Booking required. 

Drop-ins: Drop in throughout the day to view Accommodation (Pollock Halls and Fraser Court), Sport and Exercise and our Student Services Information fair.

Language taster sessions: We have a range of language taster sessions available to all offer holders (regardless of the degree you have applied for).
