PLAN YOUR UNDERGRADUATE OPEN DAY
Saturday 9 September 2023, 9.30am - 3pm
Thinking of joining us in 2024? Register now for our Open Day, which is your golden opportunity to find out everything there is to know about life at Queen's University. You'll learn all about our courses, the application process and chat to students and staff.
When you join us on campus, not only will you be able to find out all the key information you need, you'll be able to see and experience for yourself what university life is really like.
We have created a campus map which you can pick up on the day, or click here to download the map now.
Here are our tips for getting the most out of your day:
TALK TO OUR STUDENTS
Have an informal conversation with current students to learn about their student experience and their stories about student life.
TAKE A MOMENT
Take a moment to stop, catch your breath and take in your surroundings. Reflect on how you feel and think about whether you can picture yourself living here.
ENJOY YOURSELF
Make sure you plan time for food and drinks stops throughout the day and make use of any quiet spaces if you feel overwhelmed at any point.
