What important questions should I ask at university Open Days?

We know there’s a lot to take in on the day. But even covering some of these questions off will help you make a more informed decision about which university is best for you:

• What support services are available (academic support, mental health services, career advice)?

• How does the university support students with disabilities or additional learning needs?

• What’s the social scene like on campus? Are there clubs, societies, and events?

• How does the university promote inclusivity and diversity?

• What’s the Student Union like, and what services do they offer?

• How safe is the campus and surrounding area?

• What’s the public transport like, and how easy is it to get to the university from nearby towns or cities?

• What are the employment rates for graduates from my course?

• What career support does the university offer during and after the course?

• How does the university help students transition from university life into their careers?
