Open Days

Join us at an Open Day to find out about studying here from the people who know it best: our staff and students.

Our next Open Days

Our next undergraduate Open Days will take place at the University on:

  • Friday 20 June 2025
  • Saturday 4 October 2025
  • Saturday 25 October 2025

Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) will be participating in these Open Days and will hold an additional Open Day on Monday 2 June 2025 to coincide with the ECA Graduate Show.

Programme

The programme for each Open Day will be available when registration opens. Most Open Day activities are likely to take place between the hours of 9:30 - 16:00.

Please note that all subject areas will be represented on every date, but the programme of activities may vary between Open Days.

For example, there will be no opportunity to visit our Medical School campus or Veterinary Medicine campus on 25 October, as this date falls after the early UCAS deadline for these subject areas. 

Booking

A booking is required for our Open Days in 2025. We expect that registration will open at the start of May for our June event, and the start of September for our October events.

We recommend that you do not make travel arrangements or book transport until your place at an event has been confirmed. If you choose to do so before you have a confirmed place, we cannot guarantee space at the Open Day or specific activities if they become fully booked.

If an event is cancelled

We will explore all options to avoid cancelling on-campus events, however there may be rare occasions where events or sessions are cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. We are unable to accept liability for any costs incurred by visitors (e.g. travel, accommodation). Therefore you may wish to consider travel insurance or flexible tickets.
