About the event

At a University of South Wales Open Day, you can expect an informative and welcoming experience that helps you understand university life in more detail. The day usually starts with registration, where you are given a timetable and campus map to help organise your visit. You can then attend a welcome talk, which introduces the university, student life, and the opportunities available.

A key part of the day is the subject sessions, where you can meet lecturers, explore course content, and see specialist facilities. There are also talks covering topics such as accommodation, student finance, and the application process.

You will also have the opportunity to join campus and accommodation tours, often led by current students, giving you a realistic view of daily life. An information fair is available throughout the day, where staff can answer any questions about support services. Overall, the open day helps you explore the campus, meet new people, and decide if the university suits you.
