Applicant Visit Days
Our Applicant Day is a fantastic opportunity to see what university life will be like and experience your course first-hand. Visiting the campus is a great opportunity to envisage yourself studying here and, unlike our Open Days, our Applicant Days are specifically tailored to students who have already selected their course and applied to study with us. So even if you’ve visited before, this is a chance to hear more details about your course, meet your lecturers and other students on your course!
If you haven't signed up yet, please book your place here.
Please note this event is by invite only, for 2026 applicants for specific courses.
Please join us for Registration from 10.00am in the Waterfront Building, on our Ipswich Campus. We’ll be around until 1.00pm offering:
- Campus Tours
- Accommodation Tours of Athena Hall (our on-campus accommodation)
- The chance to speak to our Admissions, Careers, Finance and Accommodation Teams
- A place to chat with our Student Ambassadors about why they chose the University of Suffolk
From 12.30 - 1.00pm, you can also join us for our “Success at University: Wellbeing, Support and Future Careers” session aimed at parents and carers, although all are welcome to attend. This will be held in room WLT1, in the Waterfront Building.
