Virtual Open Day this weekend
Wednesday, 30 September 2020
Our Virtual Open Days are back on Saturday 3 and Saturday 10 October. We are looking forward to welcoming our prospective students virtually on the same dates as our on-campus events were due to take place. The events will take place at the following times:
- Saturday 3 October – 10:00-13:00
- Saturday 10 October – 13:00-16:00
The virtual event will follow a very similar format to our June online events. The events will be hosted on an ‘Open Day online hub microsite' and will include:
- Programmed live sessions from academic colleagues, student support and service providers using the Microsoft Teams Live platform
- The opportunity for visitors to watch pre-recorded material, explore our campus using virtual tours, and find out more through video content and other web material about the University and our courses
- Live online chat via Unibuddy where prospective students can talk to current students and staff in real time about life on campus and the types of support services available.
We have created a Virtual Open Day MS Team which is ‘open’ to all colleagues at the University to join should they wish. The Team includes lots of useful information including Microsoft Teams Live training resources, a copy of the Virtual Open Day programme and Key Messages documents.
A big thank you to all colleagues who have been supporting the Virtual Open Days so far, and we look forward to working together to make our October events a success.
