What you can see at a BCU Open Day
Looking around the facilities is one of the most important parts of going to a University Open Day. You'll be able to get a real feel for whether it's the right place for you after you've met our experts, toured our facilities and spoken with our current students.
We've invested over £400 million in our facilities and we'll be proud to show you around at our next Open Day.
Please note, if you're hoping to visit our Royal Birmingham Conservatoire they host individual events. Conservatoire open days
