How to Attend an Open Day or Get a Prospectus for the University of Greater Manchester

Updated

The University of Greater Manchester's website lists a next Open Day on 25th November, with entry points for Open Day Events, Open Events, a downloadable Prospectus/Brochure, and a How to Apply & Admissions page. Use the Open Day page if you want a scheduled campus visit; use Open Events if you are looking for the wider set of events; use the Prospectus/Brochure link if you only need course and university information; use How to Apply & Admissions when you are ready to start an application. The site does not state ticket prices, registration deadlines, or whether booking is required for every event, so check the linked page before travelling.

Open Day vs Open Events: which entry point to use

The homepage navigation shows both Open Day Events and Open Events. They are not the same label, and the page does not explain the full difference, so treat them as two separate routes:

Entry point What it appears to cover When to use it
Open Day Events The specific Open Day promoted on the homepage, including the 25th November date You want a dated campus visit and are ready to book or check details
Open Events A broader events area, likely including open days and other visit formats You want to compare dates or event types before committing

If you only need one action, start with Open Day Events for the 25th November listing, then use Open Events if that date does not work.

How to attend the next Open Day

  1. Go to the University of Greater Manchester website homepage.
  2. Find the Open Day Events link in the top navigation or the homepage banner that says "Join us on 25th November at our next Open Day".
  3. Open the Open Day page and read the event details.
  4. Follow the booking or registration action on that page, if one is provided.
  5. Check the confirmation or event page again before the date for any schedule or location updates.

Expected result: you reach the official Open Day listing for 25th November and either register or confirm the arrangements shown there. The site excerpt does not confirm a booking form, fee, or deadline, so do not assume attendance is automatic just by viewing the page.

What to verify before you go

  • The exact date and any start/finish times shown on the Open Day page.
  • Whether registration is required and what contact details are requested.
  • Which campus or location applies, since the site also references off-campus partners and locations.
  • Whether the event covers your subject area, using the subject list on the homepage as a guide.

How to get a prospectus or brochure

The homepage includes a Prospectus link and a Download a Brochure link. These are the two routes to written course and university information.

  1. From the homepage, select Prospectus or Download a Brochure.
  2. Choose the level of study you need: Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Research, Apprenticeships, or Continuous Professional Development.
  3. Provide the details requested on the download page, if any, and submit.
  4. Save the file or note the download link so you can return to it.

Expected result: you obtain the prospectus or brochure covering your level of study. The site does not state whether a printed copy is posted, whether there is a charge, or which personal details are mandatory, so read the form before submitting.

How to browse courses before you apply

The homepage groups courses by subject area, including:

  • Accountancy & Business
  • Film FX, Film and TV Production
  • Biomedical Sciences & Medical Biology
  • Games
  • Clinical & Paramedic Sciences
  • Health and Social Care, Social Work & Community and Youth
  • Computer Science
  • Law & Crime and Criminal Justice
  • Creative & Digital Arts
  • Medicine
  • Dance, Musical Theatre and Performance
  • Nursing & Midwifery
  • Dental Sciences
  • Physiotherapy & Sport Rehabilitation
  • Education, Early Years & Teacher Training
  • Psychology
  • Engineering, Motorsport & Construction

Use these subject links to narrow down courses before you attend an Open Day or request a prospectus. The same navigation also splits by Levels of study: Undergraduate, Postgraduate, Research, Apprenticeships, and Continuous Professional Development.

How to move from interest to application

When you are ready to apply, use the How to Apply & Admissions link in the site navigation. The homepage also lists Fees & Funding, Accommodation, and Student Support, which are useful alongside an application.

A practical order is:

  1. Browse your subject area and level of study.
  2. Download the prospectus or brochure for that level.
  3. Attend an Open Day or Open Events session if you still have questions.
  4. Go to How to Apply & Admissions and follow the steps shown there.
  5. Check Fees & Funding and Accommodation before accepting any offer.

The site does not publish application deadlines, entry requirements, or tuition amounts in the excerpt provided, so confirm those on the relevant pages rather than relying on the homepage.

Common sticking points

  • Two similar event labels. Open Day Events and Open Events are separate links. If one does not show the date you want, check the other.
  • No stated price or deadline. The excerpt does not confirm whether Open Day attendance is free, paid, or booked. Check the event page.
  • Prospectus vs brochure. Both links appear on the homepage. If one does not cover your level of study, try the other.
  • Off-campus study. The site references off-campus partners and locations, so confirm which location applies to your course before visiting.
  • Cookie notice. The site uses a cookie banner with Accept and preference options. You can proceed after choosing your preference; it does not block access to the Open Day or prospectus links.
