My Open Day was really insightful. The tutors gave us an overview of all the courses in the dance department, which helped me strengthen my choice. There was also a dance lesson, which I found helpful as I understood what I would be getting myself into.

Visiting an Open Day was the reason why I came here. I got to talk to one of my lecturers one-on-one, and we had a half-hour chat about how great the course is. His passion for teaching rubbed off on me and instantly made me want to come here.
