Offer Holder Days

After you receive your offer, we may invite you to an Offer Holder Day. Attending one of these days is a great way to find out more about us and your chosen course.

What is an Offer Holder Day (OHD)?

An OHD is more in-depth than an Open Day and gives you a more tailored experience. You’ll find out more about your course through taster sessions and have the opportunity to meet academic staff and current students. You can also visit our accommodation and chat to our support services. If you have already been to an Open Day, this is your chance to explore your course and department in more detail and if not, you’ll get an in-depth introduction to studying here.

Booking your Offer Holder Day

After you receive an offer of a place to study, you will receive an email inviting you to book an OHD.
