Guests are welcome to stay on campus in one of our coffee shops, go on a self-guided local area tour, speak to our professional services staff 1-2-1 about topics such as student support, health and wellbeing, student finance, admissions process, careers, part-time work, employability and study abroad and accommodation, or watch videos about accommodation, student finance and student wellbeing.

Something to make notes with is recommended as well as comfortable clothing.
