Thank you for choosing to attend

The University of Manchesters

Undergraduate Open Day. By

visiting our campus you will be

able to gain a real insight into the

student experience and life at

The University of Manchester.

You will have the opportunity to

find out more about the courses

you are interested in, meetcurrent students and University

staff, as well as attend sessions

on key student issues such as

accommodation and student

finance. We hope you enjoy your

visit and take full advantage of

the programme we have put

together for you.

Planning your dayIn order to get the most from your day we recommend

that you take time to plan your visit. There is a lot to

see and do so we have included a visit planner at the

back of this programme to make sure that you dont

miss any of the sessions that you want to attend.

We do advise that where possible you arrive early toyour sessions as some will be very popular, in these

cases we may limit admittance to one student and one

visitor or students only.

As you make your way through the programme and

start to plan your day, you will see that next to the

building names/session venues there is a number in

brackets. This indicates the building number as listed

on the campus map on pages 28-29 and will help you

to navigate around our campus. If you are having any

problems on the day in finding a building please ask amember of our Open Day Team dressed in purple, they

will be happy to direct you.

If you have any questions relating to the Universitys

admissions processes or policies please visit our

welcome desk in University Place (37) and speak to a

member of staff.

Please note: We are constantly improving our campus

so there might be areas undergoing refurbishment

during our June Open Day.
