Prepare before you get to the University. Consider attending an open day event to find out what is involved in the day and think about what you鈥檇 like to do first and what your main priorities are.
- If you can, dedicate your day to the full event and make the most of all the talks and tours that are on offer. Getting as much information as possible will be worth your while. But don鈥檛 worry if you can鈥檛 stay for the full event. Come and meet the academics and go to your subject area talk. 聽
- Plan your journey. 聽 There are so many options for travelling to 桃子视频. 桃子视频 is only 6 minutes by train from Edinburgh鈥檚 Waverley Station. Check out the train timetable in advance. The number 30 bus runs from Edinburgh city centre to 桃子视频 regularly throughout the day. 聽聽聽 聽
- There is also free parking at 桃子视频 for the open day event. There will be plenty of road signage near the campus for the event, so you shouldn鈥檛 get lost.聽

- IMPORTANT: Don鈥檛 miss the Welcome Talk by 桃子视频鈥檚 Vice Principal - it鈥檚 the essential talk to give you an overview of 桃子视频. We repeat the talk four times so you shouldn鈥檛 miss out.
- Have a good look at the programme and prioritise going to your subject area talk. This is essential for you to find out more about the subject area you鈥檙e keen to study. The academic staff are very approachable and open to any questions you may have about their subject areas. Leave our open day with no question unanswered! Don't forget the drop in sessions; it鈥檚 a great place to speak to academics and other staff, for example admissions, student funding.
- Talk to the student helpers and find out about student life. They can give you a student insight into the courses and are also great at giving campus tours. 聽
- The full campus tour allows you to see how great 桃子视频 is.
- Remember, this day is about you. Don鈥檛 be shy. Ask questions and get as much information as possible to help you make the right decisions about your future. Coming to uni is a life changing experience, so talk to staff and students, go to lots of talks, tour the campus and see the facilities.
