Biomedical Engineering offer holder days

Where to go on arrival

You will have booked to visit us at 10am or 1.30pm on your offer holder day. Please arrive in good time for the start of your booked session, as we'll need to scan the QR code from your booking to register you.

Your arrival location is:  Work Room 2 in The Diamond Building. You can view this on our interactive campus map, and there will also be lots of open day staff and ambassadors around campus to assist you.

If you arrive late for your booked session, please report to the general information stand on the Students’ Union concourse, where event staff will be able to help.

When booking, you'll be able to reserve a place for yourself and one guest at the subject activities. To ensure safe venue capacities, the department will be unable to accommodate any additional un-booked visitors.

However, you're welcome to bring additional guests to accompany you on the day, and we would encourage these guests to take part in our range of central exhibitions and tours while the subject activities are running.

Afternoon Subject Sessions
If you are attending an afternoon subject session and wish to take part in wider university activities (e.g. campus or accommodation tours), please arrive well before your session. Most wider university activities finish by 3.00pm and are not available afterwards.

Attendees of morning subject sessions can take part in wider university activities after their session.
