Undergraduate Open Day 30 October 2021

Welcome to the University of Winchester!

You are warmly welcome to our beautiful campus for our Open Day. We are proud not only of our inspiring surroundings and facilities, but above all, our University community. The people who learn, teach and live here make this a vibrant and supportive place to be. I hope you get a real feel today for what life could be like for you as a Winchester student.

I encourage you to ask lots of questions as you explore your subject and the campus. Talk to the academics and professional services staff and be sure to ask lots of questions of the wonderful students you will meet.

The University of Winchester is a forward-looking university with a long heritage. Ranked in the top ten in the UK for graduate employability and further study* we hope you will join us where futures matter.

Enjoy your Open Day, I look forward to meeting you,

Professor Elizabeth Stuart, Vice-Chancellor
