An Open Day is a larger event with scheduled talks that introduce you to the university, its courses, and support services. In contrast, an Open Evening is a smaller, shorter event focused on one-to-one conversations with teaching teams and student services. Open Evenings are particularly helpful for those who are working, have families, or have other commitments, offering a more relaxed and personalised way to learn about the university.  

Open Days generally start between 9:30 and 10:00 in the morning and conclude around 14:30, depending on the campus. Open Evenings, on the other hand, typically begin at 16:00 and finish at 18:00. Since these times can vary, it’s essential to check the specific timings for the event you plan to attend.
