Undergraduate Open Day

Open Days are the ideal way to discover the opportunities awaiting you at the University of South Wales, both professionally and personally.

At a USW open day, you'll have the chance to explore our campuses and accommodation, meet academic staff and current students, take part in interactive activities related to your course, and get lots of advice about support and study options.

What to expect at an Open Day

Attending an Open Day gives you the perfect opportunity to explore everything that USW has to offer.

From attending talks with academics to touring the facilities and accommodation available across the campus, there’s no better way to envision yourself as part of the USW Family.

You won’t want to miss:

• Subject-specific talks with academics and a tour of facilities.
• Drop-in sessions with university services including Admissions, Student Money and Wellbeing Services.
• Opportunities to chat with Student Ambassadors and our Students’ Union about life as a USW student.
• Tours of our campuses and accommodation.
