Most universities offer two main types of open day: in the summer before you apply and in the spring after you’ve received your offers and are making your ‘firm’ and ‘insurance’ choices. The programmes are likely to be very different, so it’s worth making two visits to a university you are considering strongly. If nothing else, you’re likely to meet different members of academic staff — and different students — at each.
History open days often include one or more of the following: a general presentation on the structure of the degree, specialised subject talks by members of academic staff, question-and-answer sessions, ‘mock’ lectures, seminars or workshops, and opportunities for informal conversations with students and staff.
