Offer Holder Day 2024: A video guide to the day
Which talks should I attend?
You are free to attend any talks you wish on the day. A guide with all timings and locations will be available approx 1 month before the event on the website and you will recieve a physical copy when you check in on the day. You do not need to prebook any talks however, we do ask that where talks may be busy, that priority is given to Offer Holders.
General talks will be held from 9am and cover a range of student information, student services and student life topics. Academic talks will be held from 12pm onwards. Each subject area will host its own subject talk with some subjects running repeat talks to allow those who may be joint honours offer holders to attend both talks.
