Why come to an open day?
An open day gives you a chance to visit and experience a university first-hand.
You'll have the opportunity to tour the campus, including the university's academic buildings, sports facilities, accommodation, and social spaces.
You'll also be able to attend talks and presentations about the courses on offer, as well as ask questions and receive guidance from academic staff and support services.
Book on to one of our open days today to discover what life at Lincoln Bishop University is really like, learn more about your subjects of interest, and decide your next steps.
My best advice for an Open Day is ‘Go to one’! Really try and attend because it calms your nerves and worries. One thing I learned was that no question is a silly one! Despite you thinking it probably is, it won’t be – someone else is probably thinking it too. You can find out so much information about the course, the assessment, the campus, city, facilities and much more.
