About the event

A Cardiff University open day gives prospective students the opportunity to explore the campus and city, learn more about studying at the University and experience what life in Cardiff could be like. Visitors can tour campuses and facilities, explore accommodation and speak to current students about their experiences. There are also opportunities to ask academics and support staff questions and find out more about courses that interest them. Depending on the school, visitors may be able to meet lecturers or attend guest lectures to experience what a class could be like.

Visiting an open day allows prospective students to see the University and its facilities for themselves, rather than relying only on online information. Exploring the campus and city can help them understand the environment they could be studying in, while speaking to students and staff can provide useful insight into academic and student life. The experience can help visitors answer questions, confirm their options and feel more confident about their university decision.

Travel advice

Due to the number of visitors who attend our Open Days, we recommend using public transport to visit the university, where possible, as the surrounding roads can get very busy.
