Undergraduate Pre-application Open Days

We're looking forward to you experiencing everything that Durham has to offer during our Open Days on Friday 19 September and Saturday 20 September .

You'll be able to visit academic departments and colleges, as well as find out more about what it's like to be a student with us. Come along and chat with staff and students, experience a wide range of our amazing facilities, and ask any questions you might have! We can't wait to meet you!

Bookings for this event will close when bookings reach 10,000 per event day.
(Please note: These events are popular and often get booked up quickly, so we recommend booking for you and your guests as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. You can easily amend or cancel your booking if you can't make it!). 

To provide you with the maximum flexibility on the day, we don't ask you to book onto any specific sessions or presentations - all of our sessions are first-come, first-served with priority given to prospective students. Sessions are repeated throughout the day. 

Top tip: sessions repeated 3 or more times are very popular so consider attending the first or last session of the day.

Once you have submitted your booking we'll send you a confirmation email and more key information in the lead up to the event. 

You are completing a booking for the upcoming September Open Days. Please make sure to read through and complete the information on each page - don't forget to click the 'Book my Place' button on the final page.

Do you have any accessibility requirements?

Advice for Blue Badge Holders

The University has a number of blue badge-holder parking bays. Unfortunately, it's not possible to pre-book blue badge holders. Further details regarding university parking can be found on our website. If visiting Lower Mountjoy (where the majority of our sessions take place) on Stockton Road, there are accessible parking bays on the left-hand side as you enter the University site. Our security office slightly further up the road will be able to provide alternatives should these be full.  

Alternatively, you can view the access to our teaching buildings and Colleges by using; AccessAble

As our presentations and tours take place throughout our Estate, which is spread throughout the city, accessible parking is subject to the sessions you wish to visit. If you have additional needs over and above blue badge holder requirements please select yes above and provide more information below.

 

 

Please give us a little more information about your additional needs and what we can do to support you during your visit?
