And if you can't attend an on-campus open day, or would prefer to learn about Solent at home, we hold some open days virtually, as well as an on-demand open day.

Solent is the only university on the south coast to achieve a triple gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023 - why not visit an open day to find out more about our award-winning teaching.

Time

Registration

Head to The Spark building at our East Park Terrace campus to sign in. From there, you'll be able to take tours of our fantastic facilities and attend a variety of talks.

What to expect

Our open days are packed full of activities, tours and talks - all to help you discover what life as a student at Solent University is like.

There will be an opportunity to attend a course talk for your chosen course of study. These sessions will give you a chance to meet the course leader and gain an in-depth insight into what you'll be studying. Most of our course talks will run twice throughout the course of the day, allowing you to attend two course talks, if you are still undecided.

You'll also be able to get up close and personal with some of the facilities and equipment you could be using on your course.

And our accommodation, admissions, finance and student support teams are all on hand to answer any questions you may have.

For the full picture, take a tour of the campus with one of our student ambassadors.

Take some time out

If you're looking for a bite to eat or a drink, visit the East Park Deli, Costa Coffee, or the Dock - they all serve hot and cold drinks, as well as snacks and a selection of hot and cold food.
