Any campus tours going on?

I see Sheffield is going them. Any others?

Want to knock a few off before open days start in June/July. We’re in Scotland so it’s a bit of a mission getting to some of the English ones!
Thanks.

I think most unis do them - usually mid week though. Several have self-guided tour leaflets on their websites too.

You have to check individual websites for the unis which is a pain. Are there any unis you are particularly interested in?

Hi @Seeline I can’t find any others that are on post Covid. Leeds, Manchester, Lancaster, Southampton, Loughborough, Sussex, Strathclyde are some of the ones we’re looking at. Nothing.

They are definitely happening at some - a quick look has shown these (I didn't check them all!)

Look under 'visit us', or even go to the open day section - they are often on that bit.

Most unis have switched to having Open Days on the weekends now - a recognition that parents tend to come along too these days.

I believe most unis are back to real Open Days this year.

@gardenhelpneeded All the unis you have mentioned other than Srathclyde have the dates for this years Open Days om their websites. Try googling (e.g.) 'Manchester Open Day' - it can be easier than navigating the websites, but most uni websites signpost their Open Day page pretty well.

@rbe78 OO specifically asked about campus tours, not open days. Campus tours are still usually midweek.

OP there are still quite a few virtual tours up in uni web sites. They are quite good for getting an initial view of a place - might help trim the list!

Open days are usually in Autumn and then again in Summer. Offer holders days are the ones usually held in springtime.

Nottingham, Bristol, Bath have announced them in person.
