There will be plenty going on at the open day in Canterbury for you to get involved in. Attending an introductory talk is a must, to get a formal welcome from UCA staff and get a feel for what the university is like - including their values and vision for you as a prospective student. There's an introductory talk at 10am and one at 12pm to allow flexibility in planning your day. There will also be subject-specific talks throughout the day, so make sure you attend at least one of these, too. If you're interested in more than one course, take a look at the full schedule for the day. Some talks might be repeated but some subjects might clash, so make a plan ahead of time and maybe even bring someone with you so you can split up and attend clashing talks! Aside from the talks, you'll be able to tour the campus and ask staff or student reps any questions you might have.

In between talks, make sure to take a tour around the campus and the specialist facilities for your chosen subject, to see what studying and creating at UCA Canterbury is like. Check out the social facilities and accommodation options too. Don't forget to explore Canterbury town, to get a feel of what life will be like outside of uni.
