The School of Computer Science operates exclusive Offer Holder Visit Days (OHVDs) from January to April, for students that have applied to our undergraduate courses and who meet our admissions criteria. You will automatically receive an invitation if you are offering standard qualifications and are made an offer.
Benefits of attending an Offer-holder Visit Day
We strongly recommend that you attend an OHVD. It's different to an Open Day, and gives you a great opportunity to meet current students and academic staff, experience subject specific talks and demonstrations, explore the campus and take a look at the fantastic facilities and accommodation that we have to offer. We also hope to provide you with further information on the practical side of attending university (careers and employability, fees and finance, university life and student welfare), and give a chance for both applicants and parents/guests to find out more. Our Computer Science ambassadors are a mixture of first, second-and-third-year students, and will be with you throughout the event.
We also use the information when allocating our undergraduate scholarships in August, worth up to £3000. The day is a useful way to get to know us and our School, and information gathered can be of use when results are released.
What our students say
"The day is a brilliant opportunity for you to learn more about the School, and get an accurate impression of what it's like to live and study here. You'll be accompanied by current students throughout the day who are best-placed to answer any questions you may have - not only regarding the course, but also university life in general.
It’s not the same as coming to see the Uni at Open Day as you are often rushing around to various places. At an OHVD you spend more time just with CS, and it's really useful."
George Brighton, 5th Year MEng Computer Science and Software Engineering with Year in Industry
Your invitation
Applicants offering standard qualifications will be invited to an OHVD shortly after an offer is made. We'll contact you with a choice of dates and a copy of our schedule, and information needed to register online Learn more on our
offer-holder visit days page.
Applying to us from outside the UK?
Don't worry if you are living outside the UK.
We know that some of our applicants are applying to us from outside the UK, and therefore it is difficult to attend an Offer Holder Visit Day with us. Whilst you are very welcome to attend, we realise that it not usually possible. To help answer any questions you may have, we will be running a series of virtual activities, that all international offer holders will be invited.
