Open Days and Info Sessions
Our open days and information sessions are a really good way to see what it’s like to study at UWS, and explore the options available if you’re considering student accommodation.
We hold open days and information sessions throughout the year which are aimed at students considering an undergraduate, postgraduate or postgraduate research degree at UWS.
Open days are a great way to:
