OPEN DAYS
Choosing a degree and deciding where to study are big decisions. It's not easy!
But the best way to know if a university is right for you is to go and take a look around at an Open Day.
University of South Wales Open Days offer you the full experience. You can explore the campus, go to sample lectures, see where you'll live, and speak to tutors and students ? all giving you a good idea of what it's like to study here.
You can even meet and make friends with people you might study with when you arrive. This year's Open Day programme is packed with everything you need ? from workshops and tours, to trying out some of our newest facilities.
It's easy to book your place at an Open day -- just register online: southwales.ac.uk/opendays

"Don't just go to an Open Day for one or two talks. Make a day of it. It's not just the university campus you need to check out. You need to see if you like the area, the city, the SU, what shops are near, and what the nightlife is like. Find these things out, it'll help you make a decision."
