Attend Your Course Talk

One of the most important parts of an Open Day is attending the talk for your chosen course.

Students can learn more about:

•⁠  ⁠Course modules

•⁠  ⁠Assessment methods

•⁠  ⁠Graduate destinations

•⁠  ⁠Industry links

•⁠  ⁠Facilities available for learning

This information can help students decide whether a programme matches their academic and career goals.

Visit Your Department and Study Facilities

Students are encouraged to explore the department where their course is based. This can include seeing computer facilities, library resources and specialist equipment connected to the subject. Visiting these spaces in person can help students understand what their daily learning environment may look like.

Explore the Students’ Union

The Students’ Union plays an important role in university life. Students can learn about support with areas such as finance and accommodation, as well as sports teams, clubs and societies.

Those with an existing hobby or interest can also find out whether there is already a relevant society or how a new one could be created.

Look at Accommodation Options

Students planning to live away from home should also explore university accommodation during the Open Day.

Options may include:

•⁠  ⁠Catered or self-catered accommodation

•⁠  ⁠En-suite or shared bathrooms

•⁠  ⁠Different room and residence types

It can also be useful to ask about distance from campus, the nearest town and supermarkets, internet access and the number of students sharing facilities.

Explore the Campus

The university campus may become a major part of a student’s life for several years. Visitors are encouraged to walk around and explore sports facilities, places to eat, social areas and other important parts of campus.

Ask Questions

University staff and students are available during the Open Day to answer questions. Asking about courses, accommodation, facilities and student life can help visitors leave with the information they need to make a more informed decision.

Loughborough University Open Days allow prospective students to explore courses, facilities, accommodation and campus life before making a university choice.

Planning ahead for the 18 September, 19 September and 14 November 2026 events and preparing key questions can help students make the most of their visit.
