Our discovery events also include stand-alone campus tours. Tours are held on the campus of study for your area of interest and are tailored specifically towards it. Offering a unique opportunity to experience our campuses in a quieter, more personalised setting, our subject area tours provide an intimate look into specific programmes and facilities, allowing you to ask questions and gain valuable insights directly from our experts. Our dedicated Additional Learning Needs (ALN) team will also be on-hand to answer any questions you may have and provide support to learners and their families with specific needs. Unlike larger group tours, these focused sessions offer a more tailored experience, ensuring you receive the information you need to make important decisions about your future.
Campus tours
Join us on one of our campus tours. We offer over 20 different tours, all of which are focused on a specific subject area. Our 2025/26 Campus Tours registration will be released in September 2025.
