Our Open Days provide an opportunity for you to find out about the great range of courses on offer, give you the chance to see the campus for yourself, to meet with lecturers and current students, and to check out our student life. We welcome all 6th years, 5th years, transition years, mature students, guidance counsellors, teachers and parents to visit the campus during Open Days.

The format includes subject presentations, exhibition area, guided tours of campus, displays and demonstrations.
