What does a St Mary’s Open Day look like?

Our Open Days run from 10am to 3pm and are packed with opportunities to explore, connect and get inspired.

You’ll kick off the day with welcome talks and subject sessions led by our academics, giving you a real insight into what it’s like to study your chosen course at St Mary’s. You can also join guided campus and accommodation tours to get a feel for where you’ll be living and learning.

Throughout the day, you’ll have the chance to chat with current students, ask questions, and hear honest insights about life at St Mary’s. You’ll also meet our key support teams, including Student Services, the Students’ Union, and our employability team, so you’ll leave knowing there’s plenty of help and guidance available throughout your time here.

Our Admissions team will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about entry requirements or your UCAS application. You’ll also be invited to take part in a UCAS application workshop, run by our Student Recruitment team, which is packed with tips to help your application stand out.

Parents and supporters are welcome too. They can join a dedicated Q&A session to ask questions and find out how best to support you on your journey.

And of course, there’s plenty of time to relax and take it all in. We’ll provide free refreshments and lunch (usually pizza or a BBQ!), and you can drop by our Craft n’ Chat table for a relaxed conversation with staff and students.
