An open day is a large-scale full-day event that you would typically attend prior to applying. At an open day, you have the opportunity to attend a course session and general talks, chat to staff from our student service teams and view accommodation. Find out more information about our open days.
An offer holder day is also a full-day event that is similar to an open day but includes a more in-depth and interactive course session. Offer holder days also provide the opportunity to meet staff from our student service teams and view accommodation that has rooms still available at the time of the event. You would be invited to an Offer Holder Day if you are an offer holder (depending on your course) and you can book a place by logging into your Applicant Hub.
A campus tour is a smaller scale event and provides an overview of the general campus facilities with a tour led by a current LJMU student. The short tour will be general, rather than course specific, and will include one example of our accommodation. Our student service staff aren't present at campus tours. If you are simply looking to get a feel for the campus, this is a great option. However, if you are looking for more in-depth information or course-specific information, one of the above options may be a better choice for you.
You can also explore LJMU virtually on LJMU On Demand
