How to Book an Open Day at Edge Hill University

Updated

To book an Edge Hill University Open Day, use the Open Day booking link on the university's homepage (edgehill.ac.uk) and complete the booking form for your chosen date. The site presents Open Days as the best way to experience what the university is really like, and the homepage currently flags the last Open Day of the year — so if you want to visit before the year closes, book as soon as you can rather than waiting.

What the Open Day is for

Edge Hill describes an Open Day as the best way to see the campus for yourself, rather than relying on the website alone. That makes it the right step once you have a shortlist of courses and want to check the campus, facilities and atmosphere in person.

The university is a campus university in Lancashire, near Liverpool, and its Ofsted Outstanding rating for initial teacher education is a point worth checking against your own subject if you are considering teaching.

Step-by-step booking

  1. Go to edgehill.ac.uk. The Open Day prompt sits on the homepage, under the heading "Don't miss our last Open Day of the year."
  2. Select the booking link. The page offers a "Book your Open Day" action next to the Open Day message.
  3. Choose your date. The homepage highlights the final Open Day of the year; if that date does not suit you, check the Open Day pages for any other listed dates before assuming none remain.
  4. Complete and submit the form. You will typically be asked for contact details and possibly your subject of interest so the university can send joining instructions.
  5. Confirm you have a booking. Keep the confirmation email or reference — you will need it on the day, and it is the quickest way to amend or cancel.

Before you book: useful checks

Check Why it matters
Course availability The site lists 1,257 course results; confirm your course is offered and check its entry requirements first
Date and travel The campus is in Ormskirk, Lancashire, near Liverpool — plan rail or road travel and parking in advance
What to see Decide which departments, accommodation and support services matter most to you so you use the day well
Who to bring Guests are commonly welcome, but confirm numbers when booking

What to do on the day

  • Attend the subject talk for your course and ask about teaching style, placements and assessment.
  • Visit accommodation and the library, and check the commute and local area.
  • Speak to current students and staff about support services — the site's "Wobble Week" feature shows the university actively promotes wellbeing support, so ask what is available year-round.
  • Note anything you want to follow up, such as entry requirements or interview steps.

Common sticking points

  • The final date is full or has passed. The homepage message refers to the last Open Day of the year, so late bookers may find it closed. In that case, ask admissions about campus tours or applicant visit days instead.
  • You have not chosen a course. Browse the course search first; arriving without a subject in mind makes the day much less useful.
  • You need adjustments. If you have access requirements, mention them in the booking form or contact the university beforehand so arrangements can be made.

After booking

Use the confirmation to plan your route and timetable, and prepare two or three specific questions per subject. If your plans change, cancel or amend through the contact details in your confirmation so the place can be offered to someone else.
