The University of Manchester: Undergraduate Open Day

UNDERGRADUATE

OPEN DAY Saturday, 3 October 2015 Saturday, 10 October 2015 10am–4pm

MAkiNG ThE MOST Of YOUR DAY Thank you for choosing to attend The University of Manchester’s undergraduate open day. By visiting our campus you will be able to gain a real insight into the student experience and life here.

You will have the opportunity to find out more about the courses you are interested in, meet current staff and students, as well as attend sessions on key issues such as accommodation and student finance. We hope you enjoy your visit and take full advantage of the programme we have put together for you.

Planning your day In order to get the most from your day we recommend that you take time to plan your visit. There is a lot to see and do so we have included a visit planner at the back of this programme to make sure that you don’t miss any of the sessions that you want to attend.

We do advise that where possible you arrive early to your sessions as some will be very popular; in these cases we may limit admittance to one student and one visitor or students only.

follow us on facebook and Twitter Throughout the day you will be able to receive regular updates through our Facebook and Twitter accounts, so why not like us on Facebook www.facebook.com/OpenDaysUoM or follow us on Twitter @OpenDaysUoM #HelloUoM and #uomopenday If you post any photos or updates on social media while you are at the open day, please use #HelloUoM and #uomopenday on your posts.

As you make your way through the programme and start to plan your day, you will see that next to the building names/session venues there is a number in brackets. This indicates the building number as listed on the campus map on pages 28-29 and will help you to navigate around our campus. If you are having any problems on the day in finding a building please ask a member of our open day team dressed in purple and they will be happy to direct you.

Please note: We are constantly improving our campus so there might be areas undergoing refurbishment during our open days.

1 2 3 Stage 1

Decide which subject sessions you want to attend – you can attend more than one, so just look at the timetable on pages 2 to 11 to see which ones suit you best. If you are interested in Medicine, you will need to have pre-booked your place via the online registration form.

You can also find out more about your subject by visiting the relevant Subject Exhibition Stand. These are also listed in the tinted boxes on pages 2 -11. The stands will be open from 10am – 3.30pm and will provide you with the opportunity to speak with staff and current students on the course.

Stage 2 We have general information sessions running throughout the day covering topics such as Careers, Student Finance and Accommodation. Have a look at the full list on page 12-14 and fit the ones you want to attend around your subject sessions.

Stage 3 Finally, we have a variety of Student Experience activities organised such as Campus Tours and Students’ Union Tours. We also have a Student Experience Exhibition, which will have information stands on areas from Sport and Student Finance to Accommodation and Study Abroad and a new Careers and Social Responsibility Exhibition to showcase our careers services for students and the University's unique commitment to social responsibility and making a difference. For a full list see pages16-22 and plan these activities around your other sessions.
