What to expect from a Virtual Open Day
A Virtual Open Day is your chance to find out what’s waiting for you at UWE Bristol from the comfort of your own home.
So what can you expect?
- You’ll have the chance to attend live talks about the course(s) and subject area you're interested in. Our staff are here to help, so have your questions ready.
- Drop in to a number of live Q&A chats from our key university services, such as admissions, accommodation, student finance, student life and much more.
- View our 360° tours of your campus, accommodation and facilities from wherever you are in the world.
- International students will have the opportunity to discuss the visa and application process and find out about studying in the UK and exploring the city of Bristol.
- Join live Q&A chats with our current students and alumni and get a feel for what life is like at UWE Bristol. No one knows a university better than its students.
