University of Lincoln Undergraduate Open Day

The University of Lincoln is holding its undergraduate open days on Saturday 7 November and Saturday 5 December, both running from 9am to 3pm on the city campus. If you're weighing up where to spend the next few years, these are the days when you can actually get a feel for the place rather than just reading a prospectus.

On the day, you can tour the campus and explore the city, meet future lecturers and chat with current students, and have a look at the university's award-winning accommodation. It's a good way to see the facilities and get a sense of the atmosphere first-hand. The university describes its home as a must-see city campus, with custom-made courses, a straightforward admissions process, and advice on fees, funding and wellbeing support on hand.

If you do decide to apply and receive an offer, there's a second step: you'll be invited to an Offer Holder Day, which usually takes place between February and April. That's the follow-up for when you've got a place on the table and want to be sure it's the right fit before you commit.

Practicalities are straightforward. Free parking is available on campus at the Rope Walk entrance (LN6 7DQ), dogs are welcome on a lead, and there's free Wi-Fi across the site. Both dates run from 9am to 3pm, so you've got a good window to work around.
