What our students have to say...
"I visited the University on its Open Day and had a fantastic experience with the Student Ambassadors who were helpful and very friendly. It's been a pleasure to speak to some of the lecturers who were available and helpful. [They have] great facilities and outdoor spaces. I really enjoyed my day, thank you!"

If you have some free time after your visit today, why not make the most out of your trip to this beautiful part of London. Twickenham may be most well-known for its association with rugby, but there is plenty more to see. There are also sites of cultural and historical interest, including Hampton Court Palace, the Thames riverside, and the nearby Royal Parks (Bushy and Richmond).
“Church Street, in the heart of Twickenham, is a great spot with cafés, restaurants and boutiques. One of my all-time favourite restaurants is Osteria Pulcinella, an Italian gem where I had the most delicious food during my own Open Day visit. I’ve made it a tradition to return for birthdays and special occasions!”
