Open Days and Info Sessions
Our Open Days and information sessions are a 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. They're aimed at students considering an undergraduate, postgraduate or postgraduate research degree at UWS.
Open Days are a great way to:
- Hear from staff and students about life and study at UWS
- Get help with your application
- Learn more about funding and financial support
- See our facilities for yourself – from lecture theatres and labs to our student accommodation, sport facilities and award-winning students' union
- Find out more about work placements, learning a language or study abroad opportunities
