Do I have to book to attend an Open Day?

It is highly recommended that you book in advance, although you can just turn up on the day. 

Will I receive confirmation of my booking?

Yes, an e-mail will be sent to you once you register for the day confirming your booking.  This will then provide you with a link to personalise your programme for the day.  We recommend you do this as some talks and tours, especially the accommodation, fill up very quickly and this guarantees your place.

Will I get confirmation of the accommodation tours I have booked?

Yes.  DIGS Student accommodation will send you a confirmation e-mail along with your tour tickets via e-mail.

What do I need to bring with me on the day?

We will e-mail you your Open Day Pass one week before the Open Day.  If you book after this time just bring along a copy of the confirmation e-mail we will send you on booking your place.

Do I need to register on the day?

Yes.  The main registration area will be in Quayside along with the Information Fair, in the Central Services Building.  However there will be several registration desks situated around campus.

How many visitors can I bring?

We have no limit on the number of visitors attending with you.  Children can accompany parents, however we would ask that if you are attending a presentation and they get restless that you leave so as not to disturb other visitors.

Where do I go when I arrive?

Please make your way to Quayside in the Central Services Building.  We will have Student Ambassadors in orange T-shirts to direct you on the day.

Where can I find a programme?

An on-line programme is available to view on the web.  A printed programme will be available for you to collect upon registration on the day.  This will give you all the room numbers and talks for the day.

Do I need to inform the University of changes to my booking?

Amendments to your booking such as cancelling your attendance or changing your personalised programme or changing to a different Open Day can be made on-line via your iHud VIP login page.

If you need help to do this then please contact the Schools Liaison Service on school.liaison@hud.ac.uk or call us on 01484 472282.

Can we see student accommodation?

Accommodation can be viewed on the June and October Open Days, it will not be available to view on our September Open Day, however DIGS Student accommodation will be giving talks.

Please note that the University does not own the student accommodation. This is run by the University’s preferred recommended and approved company DIGS Student.

Where can I park on the day?

Limited free parking is available on campus and we have also arranged for some overflow car parking in the Kingsbridge Car Park.  Please note however that when our allocated car parking spaces are full you will have to pay to park.

How do I get from the train/bus station to the University?

Both are only a 10 minute walk to the University.  Please see directions 

Do you have campus tours?

Yes, guided walking tours of campus are available at regular intervals throughout the day and there is no need to book; just go to the Help Desk in the Information Fair.  These will be led by our Student Ambassadors.
