There’s a wide range of activities and support services available for you to explore during our Open Day. We’ll notify you when academic department sessions are available for pre‑booking. Everything else runs on a drop‑in basis, giving you the flexibility to tailor the day to suit your needs and make the experience personal to you.
Let us make you an offer!
At the Open Day, prospective postgraduate taught students in their final year or who have completed their studies will have the opportunity to be considered for a provisional offer from our Admissions Team. If you meet the entry criteria for your chosen postgraduate programme, and your programme does not require an interview or further academic assessment, you may be eligible for a provisional offer. Where appropriate, confirmation will be sent by email on the day, allowing you to apply with greater confidence.
Further details will be shared ahead of the event.
Open Day Guide
Our digital Open Day Guide will be available at the start of June - this is a great tool for planning your visit to Durham. We will also have a session and location guide for you to use on the day of your visit.
Accessibility
If you or any of your guests have accessibility requirements, an Accessible Guide will be available to support your visit. This will be published on the website ahead of the Open Day and will include information about available assistance and how to access our disability support services on the day.
Additionally, we have a Durham University AccessAble website which outlines the accessibility features of each of our buildings across the site. You can filter this based on the buildings you wish to visit on the day.
Unfortunately, we are unable to store any pieces of luggage during the Open Day. We recommend leaving luggage at your hotel accommodation, where possible.
Quiet Room
We know that Open Days can sometimes feel overwhelming, with busy spaces and lots of information to take in. A quiet room will be available throughout the day at the Palatine Centre for anyone who may need some time away from the main event.
