How to Attend a UWE Bristol Open Day

UWE Bristol lists open days on its website under "Open Days and events", and you can attend either on campus or online. The homepage currently shows three undergraduate open days: 10 October 2026 (on campus), 21 November 2026 (on campus), and 2 December 2026 (virtual). These are aimed at prospective undergraduate students, so if you are considering an undergraduate course starting in 2026 or 2027, you can plan around one of these dates. The site does not state whether booking is required or whether there is a cost, so check the individual event page before you travel.

What the open days cover

The listed events fall into two formats:

On-campus days let you see the facilities and campuses in person. UWE Bristol spreads its provision over three campuses, so an on-campus visit is the practical way to judge travel times and the feel of each site. The virtual day on 2 December 2026 suits anyone who cannot travel to Bristol, or who wants an initial look before committing to a trip.

How to find and book an open day

1. Go to the UWE Bristol homepage (uwe.ac.uk).
2. Look for the "Open Days and events" section, which sits alongside the main study links.
3. Open the event listing and select the date that fits your level of study — the three dates above are all flagged as undergraduate.
4. Follow the event page's instructions to register. The homepage excerpt does not confirm a booking step, so treat the event page as the source of truth for whether you need to sign up in advance.

Expected result: you end up with a confirmed place (if registration is required) and the practical details — start time, campus, and what to bring.

Before you go

• Check the course exists for your year. The site separates courses by entry year, with 2026 and 2027 options and a full listing for 2027/28. Confirm your subject is running in the year you plan to apply before booking a visit around it.
• Browse by subject first. If you are undecided, the subject list (Accounting and Finance, Architecture, Nursing and Midwifery, Law, and others) helps you narrow down which departments to prioritise on the day.
• Plan for the campus layout. With three campuses, a single open day may not cover everything you want to see. Decide in advance which subject areas matter most.
• Use the virtual option as a first pass. If the October or November dates are inconvenient, the 2 December virtual day lets you gather information before arranging an in-person trip.

Common sticking points

• Dates are for 2026. The listed open days are in late 2026, so they line up with applications for 2027 entry rather than immediate starts. If you need something sooner, check the events page for additional dates not shown on the homepage.
• Undergraduate focus. All three listed events are labelled undergraduate. Prospective postgraduate or international students should look for separate events rather than assume these cover their needs.
• Booking status unclear. Because the homepage does not say whether you must register, do not turn up on the day assuming walk-ins are accepted. Confirm on the event page first.

If you want to compare study options before choosing a date, the site's course search and subject browsing tools are the natural starting point — see the guide on finding courses and study options on the UWE Bristol website.
