Plan your Offer Holder Visit Day

Congratulations on your offer! We can't wait to welcome you on campus. 

What to expect

Visit days for offer holders take place from February to April.

Departmental programmes will be available closer to the event, accessible through You@York. But here’s an idea of what to expect on the day.

You'll receive further information about travel and parking by email before the event.

Starting your visit day

If you arrive early, you can explore our campus at your leisure using our self-guided tour app, Visit UoY, or get some refreshments at our on campus catering outlets. We will also be providing free breakfast rolls, you can head to Vanbrugh Cafe or the Roger Kirk Centre between 9.30am and 11am to grab one! 

Opening times for catering outlets will be displayed on your programme.

Register

Once you've arrived on campus, please register your attendance in Central Hall from 10.00am.

Time to explore

Until 1.30pm you've got time to explore. Take a stroll around our campus. You'll be able to meet and chat with support staff and current students to find out more about studying at the University of York. You'll have a chance to view a selection of our accommodation too. We'll send details of which colleges are available to visit via email before your event, or you can visit the Spring Lane Building on your visit day to speak to the Accommodation team.

Meet your department

In the afternoon you will meet your department. Chat and ask questions to academic staff from your department and explore your subject in more depth. The time of this session will vary depending on your department. Parents and supporters will have a range of talks to attend during this time. The event will finish by 4pm.

Visit Days for offer holders can really help you narrow down your options and resolve any queries you may have. By seeing the university again, you can get a good feel of whether that institution is for you. Online and virtual resources are great, but I think you can learn so much more by seeing a place in person!

Make the most of your visit

Here are our top tips on getting the most of your visit day:

Prepare some questions

What would like to know about living and studying in York before you choose your University? Is it module options, assessment types, or placement opportunities?

Explore the city of York

If time allows, take a trip into the city! From historic architecture to the world-famous Shambles, there's so much to see and do. A student-led audio tour is available using the Visit UoY app.
