101 On Open Days
What’s an Open Day and are they worth attending? Well in short, an Open Day is where we ‘open’ up the university for the ‘day’, yep, it’s that simple! So, if you are thinking about studying at BNU, this gives you the chance to see the goods before you buy.
It’s dead easy to sign up to an Open Day and we hold several each year, both in person and online, so you have plenty of choice – so now you’ve signed up, what’s next?
Get Planning
Well first things first, plan your day. It’s a jam-packed one so it’s worth making a plan before you get here for what you want to see, from accommodation and campus tours, to finance and student service talks, and most importantly exploring your new course. This day is about you and getting those answers to any questions you may have.
You’ll receive our open day planner a few days before the event and remember this is your day so you can do as much or as little as you want – it’s up to you and apart from the course talk our timetable is totally flexible.
Meet the Course Leaders
Who better to chat with about courses you’re interested in, than the lecturer who runs them?! You’ll have the opportunity to chat to Course Leaders and other academic staff at subject specific stands.
Whether you want to know more about modules you’ll study, the facilities you’ll use, career opportunities you may have or even their recommendation for the best sandwich in High Wycombe, our staff are friendly, ready to meet you and happy to chat through any worries or concerns you may have.
Potential Students on tour
Though not quite Magaluf style, but just as exciting, our tours will see you walking all around what could be your new home-from-home. Not only will you see our facilities, both course-related and general, you’ll also get to explore our student accommodation and award-winning Students’ Union.
It’s easy to book onto our accommodation tours on the day and you can simply jump on a campus tour when you are ready.
