Are you coming to visit us on a UCAS applicant Open Day??

Got my confirmation through the post a couple of weeks ago confirming my place for Wednesday 17th Feb!

That's great! What department will you be visiting?

The School of Computer Science. Very excited!

What times will these UCAS open days happen?

Hi there,

I have just got my offer to study here however my entry is deferred form 2017 entry, should I apply for a 2016 applicant open day or should I wait till 2017?
I will be studying sociology and social policy if I accept bangor as my first choice

i've been trying to sign up for an applicant's day but it won't work (it keeps highlighting the uk bit but i'm from ireland)

I am unsure as whether to go to a post offer day or not as I applied for a joint honours which mean two different departments on different days and I don’t exactly live nearby. I attended an open day in October, how much would be different? Is it worth it?

I went to both the Open Day in October and then on the 17th February, the Applicant day.

Unlike the Open day you're split into Group A and Group B. The difference between the groups is just that the morning talks and tours are in a different order. I presume you're placed in a specific group depending on what you state in your application although I'd arrived a little late due to travelling long-distance so I'm not too clear on how each person is sorted.

As I'd missed the accommodation talk/tour on the Open Day, the Applicant Day was a great way for me to see the things I'd missed the first time, however the afternoon was pretty much the exact same as the Open Day (e.g. the academic school tours and demonstrations) except it was a bit more focused on those who'd received an offer rather than catering to just anyone who came to visit.

Overall there were a few differences to the Open Day such as informal one-to-one chats with department lecturers, being able to tour both accommodation sites properly and tours of the sports centres but in my personal opinion if you feel that there's nothing new you want to see or have no new questions you want to ask, it's not a big issue that you don't visit.

If you do decide you want to go they do refund your travel for up to £50 so if you're travelling within that cost at least you'll have had a day out to further familiarise yourself with the area if you do decide to make Bangor your first choice.

What do i do if I put the wrong address when signing up? Does the adress really matter?

Hello,

What academic school are you visiting? Then I can point you in the right direction of how to contact them to make them aware
