About the day

Participate in a taster lecture

As an attendee, you will participate in a taster lecture providing you with an understanding of the course content and what it's like to study these topics at university level. These sessions will be led by our expert academics and delivered at Henley Business School. You will have the opportunity to select either a lecture in Business & Management or in Real Estate & Planning when booking your place.

This Open Afternoon will be held at our Whiteknights campus and will run from 13:00 – 15:30, allowing you time to explore the subject and department.

FAQs

Can I park on site?

You can park on site for the taster day, but you will need to request a parking permit and have this displayed in your vehicle for the duration of the event. Details on requesting a printable parking permit will be supplied when booking.

Is there somewhere to buy lunch?

While catering is not provided for this afternoon event, you are welcome to arrive to campus prior to the start of the event or remain on campus after the event in order purchase food or refreshments from any of the catering outlets available.

Bursary for train travel

If you're from IMD or WIMD Q1 postcodes around the UK, we can now offer free train tickets for you and an accompanying person.


What is IMD and WIMD?

The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2015 is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas (or neighbourhoods) in England.

Areas are split into quintiles, with quintile 1 (Q1) for highest levels of deprivation and quintile 5 (Q5) for lowest levels of deprivation.

There is a similar measure for Wales called the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD). 

How do I claim my free train tickets?

When you complete your Open Day booking form, enter your postcode and select "public transport" when asked how you will travel to the Open Day. We will then check your postcode and contact you to set up the free train tickets.

If you have any questions, please contact us at opendays@reading.ac.uk.
