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 May. Departmental programmes will be available closer to the event, 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.
Our Visit Days will begin at 10.30am, but if you arrive on campus early you can grab a complimentary hot breakfast roll and drink in the Roger Kirk Centre and Vanbrugh Cafe until 11am. You can also download our self-guided tour app, Visit UoY, and explore our campus.
Once you've arrived on campus, please register your attendance in Central Hall from 10.00am.
10.30am to 1.30pm is your 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 from 10.30am. 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.
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.
Make the most of your visit
Here are our top tips on getting the most of your visit day:
Prepare some questions
Think about what you'd like to know about living and studying in York that might help you make your university decision. This could be about module choices, how your course is assessed, or what kind of employment opportunities there are.
Explore the city of York
If you have time, we'd definitely recommend a trip into the city. From historic architecture to the world-famous Shambles, there's so much to see and do. You can also take a student-led audio tour using the Visit UoY app.
Chat to our Student Ambassadors
There's no such thing as a stupid question! From sports and societies to colleges and catering, our student ambassadors are here to answer your burning questions. Subscribe to our student vlog channel (youtube.com) for more insight into uni life at York.
