On-campus Open Days

• All attendees are required to pre-book a place at either a morning or afternoon Open Day slot. This helps us limit the capacity of people on campus at any one time. All guests can attend any time between the start and end time of their slot – just remember to check the schedule to ensure you don’t miss those all-important course and information sessions. 
• We have spread our faculty stands throughout the University to ease congestion in our busiest areas 
• We will deliver talks/activities within our lecture rooms, as well as a limited number of guests at each morning and afternoon slot so we can make sure that no sessions become too full. 
• In line with Government guidance, we will be encouraging the wearing of face coverings when inside University buildings. 
• We will operate an enhanced cleaning regime which will include regular cleaning of all high traffic areas and touchpoints throughout the day, this includes areas such as toilets, door handles and lift buttons. Additional cleaning will take place during the break between the morning and afternoon session.  
• We will be encouraging social distancing in the busiest areas on campus, for example, queues for entry and for campus tours. 
• Where required we will operate designated queuing and one way systems.  
• We encourage regular use of hand sanitising stations which are placed around the University campus. 

To help us keep everyone safe we ask the following of our open day guests:  

• Ensure you have booked your slot in advance 
• Adhere to any one way or queuing systems while visiting the University 
• We encourage the wearing of face coverings within the University buildings in line with Government guidance. We do understand that there may be some circumstances where people may not be able to wear a face covering and will be mindful and respectful of such circumstances
• We encourage visitors to campus to undertake a lateral flow test, using a self-testing kit and confirm a negative result before travelling to campus. Information on obtaining later flow tests can be found on the Government Website https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests 
• Hygiene is key – we ask all visitors to make use of the hand sanitising stations on arrival and throughout their visit. Hands should also be washed regularly
