About the event

At an Open Day at the University of Leicester, prospective students have the chance to explore the campus and gain a better understanding of university life. Visitors can join guided campus tours to see the teaching facilities, study spaces and the environment where students spend their time learning and socialising.

During the day, attendees can take part in subject talks and taster lectures delivered by academic staff. These sessions provide useful information about course content, teaching styles and what students can expect when studying at the university. They also give visitors the opportunity to ask questions about their chosen subjects.

There are also chances to speak with current students and hear about their personal experiences of studying and living in Leicester. This helps visitors gain a realistic insight into student life both inside and outside the classroom.

In addition, guests can find out about accommodation, student societies and extracurricular activities offered through the Students’ Union. Overall, the Open Day helps prospective students explore their options and decide if the University of Leicester is the right place for them.
