Campus tours
We encourage you to visit our attractive and welcoming Campus on a guided or self-guided tour.
Campus tours are scheduled on most Fridays during term time. At other times, you are welcome to take a self-guided campus tour.
Tours are not available on weekends or Public Holidays.
Campus tours start at 9:30am sharp. Good footwear, weather suitable clothing and snacks help for an enjoyable tour.
What you will see
Our Tour Guides give insider knowledge of different areas of the university.
Guided campus tours
Guided campus tours visit the library, bookshop, lecture theatres, the recreation centre, student social and study spaces, and some of our fantastic new learning facilities.
College visits
Tours on the first Friday of the month and during the school holidays include a visit to 2 areas of study (Colleges) you are most interested in. This will include a tour of the college facilities specific to your interest and a broad overview of your area of interest. Please book in with a Liaison Officer if you require course planning advice.
