Undergraduate Open Days
The ideal opportunity to discover Roehampton.
Coming along to an open day is the best way to see our campus, meet our community and find out it we're the university for you.
We host open days throughout the year, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to visit us, and you don't have to do it alone. You can bring up to two guests with you, so get a family member or friend to come along with you.
What happens at an open day?
An open day usually runs from 9am - 3pm.
- Throughout the day, you'll be able to take tours of our campus, accommodation, world-class library, and teaching facilities
- You can join a subject-specific talk with our academics, and ask questions about the course you're interested in studying at our academic fair
- You can also meet and chat with our teams in the student life and support fair. Our student ambassadors will be running our tours, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to chat with them about student life at Roehampton
- We add the itinerary for the day on the event page a few days before the day. If you're registered, we will email it to you too - it will help you plan how to get the most out of the day
Food and drink
Our cafes are open throughout the day for you to get a drink or a bite to eat - depending on when you come along there may also be a BBQ and food trucks!

Getting the most out of an open day
Coming along to a open day is the first step towards starting your future career. To help make sure you get the most out of your visit, here's our top five tips:
Think about what you really want to know, is there something specific you'd like more information on? A module you'd like to know more about, what career you could get after you graduate or how you'll afford to pay for your studies.
Whatever the question, write it down so you don't forget! You can always take notes on the day.
Think about how you want to spend the day with us. What talks do you want to attend? Is there a support team you need to chat with? Would you like to take a tour of the campus and facilities?
We usually publish the itinerary a few days before the day. If you're registered, we will email it to you.
Our student ambassadors are current students and will be on hand to chat to you throughout the day about anything. You can ask them what their favourite spots on campus are or what advice they would give you about being a new student.
What better way to remember the day and experience, than to take notes and even photos!
Why not see what local shops and places to eat are near to campus, you could even visit Putney or Richmond?
