June Open Days

We recommend booking in advance for Open Days. This means you can receive our communications about Open Days before the event. 

If you want to attend a departmental session, you must book these in advance. You can book a place for you and one guest at up to three departmental sessions on the booking form for Open Days. 

Yes! You’re welcome to bring guests along to join you at Open Days, however, if you want a guest to join you at a departmental session, you will have to book their place in advance. 

When you complete your booking, you’ll be sent a confirmation email. This will have a unique link that shows your full booking details including any booked department talks. Please check your email address is correct before completing your booking to make sure you receive the email.

Sometimes our confirmation emails can end up in spam folders. If you didn’t receive your email, contact us at [email protected] and we can check your details.

We’ll send updates before the open days which will include links to your QR code. Please have this available on the Open Day, as you’ll need this to check in on the day. You can display It on your phone or bring a printed copy.

Our next Open Day at our South Kensington Campus takes place on Saturday 13 September 2025. Bookings will open around seven weeks before the event. Join our mailing list to hear first when bookings open. 

We'll also be running Virtual Open Day sessions for everyone who can't join us at an on-campus event.

Bookings will open shortly and these online events will run between 14 and 25 July 2025. 

We recommend you still book a place and attend our Open Day, as there are lots of activities that don’t need booking in advance. You can see what’s on offer on our making the most of the day pages.

Our booking system doesn’t offer a waiting list for departmental sessions, but we do release places if there are cancellations. Keep an eye on our schedule to check if places become available for session(s) you're interested in. 

Occasionally, places can be available for departmental sessions on Open Day, however due to limited capacity, we can’t guarantee a seat without a booking.

No. Both days have a very similar programme, with activities running from 09.00 to 16.30 (UK time). The format of Open Day means that you only need to attend one of the days, and you can choose your preferred day when you book your place. 

Remember, because our departmental sessions are very popular, you may not be able to transfer your booking if you want to change the day that you attend.

Yes. If you need to make any changes to your booking, simply click the link in the email to access the booking system. Be careful when editing your booking as increasing the number of guests may lose your spot at fully booked talks.

You can now explore our full Open Day schedule available below:

To get an idea of what activities to expect, take a look at our make the most of your day page.

Our nearest Tube station is South Kensington which is on the Piccadilly, District and Circle lines.

Our campus is a 10-minute walk from the Tube station up Exhibition Road, next to the Science Museum, and is clearly signposted from the station.

We strongly recommend using public transport to travel to the Open Day. Parking in the area is extremely limited and expensive, and we can only arrange guest parking on campus if you are a blue badge holder.

Trains should be operating as usual but do check with your travel provider for information. For a Tube map and general information for travel in London, visit the Transport for London website.

We know that not all our visitors will be familiar with public transport in London, so please do get in touch if you need support planning your journey.

We have a limited number of travel bursaries available for Year 12 students at a state school or college in the UK. The bursaries will provide return rail or public transport to one of the June Open Days.

You can find out about our travel bursary on our travel bursary page.

The application deadline for the bursary is 12.00 on Monday 2 June.

Yes, if you have a disability and blue badge we can arrange parking on campus – please email [email protected] to arrange this.

Most buildings on campus have disabled access, but please email us in advance to advise us of any mobility issues so that we can check the accessibility of departmental sessions that you intend to attend.

You must book departmental sessions in advance – you can book a place at up to three of these sessions.

You can also book a place for one guest to bring with you to departmental sessions (subject to availability) though you must indicate this at the time of booking due to limits on numbers.

Yes. If you need to make changes to your booking, simply log back into our online booking system. To log back in you need to use the email address you used when you made the original booking and your booking reference number – you can find this on the email confirmation you received.

If you have any problems or require help with editing your booking, please email: [email protected]

We recommend you still book a place and attend our Open Day.

The booking system does not have a waiting list for departmental sessions, so please check back later to see if spaces have become available for the session(s) you are interested in.

You will still be able to explore the campus, attend an accommodation tour and have the opportunity to speak to our academic departments at our Information Fair.

You'll also be able to ask our staff and students any questions you have.

In addition, you may be able to attend a drop-in session about the subject you're interested in.

If your plans change and you are unable to make the open day please do log back into our online booking system to cancel your booking and free up the place for another visitor.

If you have any problems cancelling your booking please email: [email protected].

Only available sessions will appear on the booking form. If your departmental session does not appear, it is most likely fully booked.

You can still attend the Open Day and visit our Information Fair and drop-in sessions.

Unfortunately, only one parent, carer or guest will be able to attend a booked department session with you. We have strict capacity limits for booked talks in lecture theatres for health and safety reasons, which is why we must keep the maximum booking number to two people.

Guests are welcome to attend the elements of the Open Day which do not require advance booking, for example our accommodation and general information talks.

Guests will also be able to visit the department and support services exhibition stands at the Information Fairs to speak with staff and current students from the department(s) of your choice.

Please be aware some departments may give priority to prospective students so guests may be asked to wait or go to an overflow room.

To help us make sure that we have all the necessary arrangements in place for you, please contact us with additional information by Tuesday 17 June 2025.

No, unfortunately limits on numbers at our departmental sessions means we are unable to accommodate school bookings.

However, if you are a teacher, please do encourage your students to book individually using our online booking system.

Teachers are also welcome to attend the event and there are a range of activities that do not require advance booking.
