Mechanical Engineering offer holder days

Arriving at the department

You will have booked to visit us at 10am to 12.30pm or 1.30pm to 4.00pm on your offer holder day, but you are also invited to join us for a networking session with refreshments, so please refer to the schedule below for details about that.

Your arrival location is in The Diamond, Lecture Theatre 4 - please read the information below for details about the specific session you will be attending. Please arrive in good time as we'll need to scan the QR code from your booking to register 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.

You can view The Diamond on our interactive campus map, and there will also be lots of open day staff and ambassadors around campus to assist you.

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