With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But don’t worry! We’ve got six tips to help you make the most out of your Open Event.
Once you’ve pre-registered, you’ll receive one of three programmes tailored to our city centre or specialist sites. These will be sent out the week of the event, so make sure to give it a read before you arrive. It’ll include maps, activities, and locations—helping you pinpoint where to go for the courses that interest you.
The roads can be busy, and parking is limited – plus, there’s no parking available on our College sites. We recommend using public transport if possible and allowing extra time to park. Planning ahead means you can arrive calm, collected, and ready to explore.
Even if you have your heart set on a course, stay open to new possibilities. If something else catches your eye, ask the Welcome Team where to go for more details. It’s your chance to explore every option!
Feeling overwhelmed? Most of our locations have cafés offering complimentary refreshments. Grab a cup of coffee, take a breather, and map out your next stop.
