What time do you open?

How do I know which campus I will be studying on?
Before you set off, it is essential you're sure that you are attending the right campus. Browse the prospectus or contact us to find out which campus you need to visit. Once you've booked your place your e-ticket will confirm the campus you should attend.
-
Can I bring relatives, friends or children along with me?
Absolutely, in fact we recommend it! When you start a course at Anglia Ruskin they will be a huge support to you so do bring them along so they can see where you will be studying too. The more the merrier!
-
Will I get to see where I will be studying?
It's really important that you get to see the areas where you will be studying at University as it can make a big difference to your final decision. Most departments will be running tours of their facilities on the day but if there is anything you want to see, just ask a member of staff or a Student Ambassador and they will be happy to show you.
-
Will I be able to find out what my timetable will be?
Your timetable will vary greatly depending on your choice of course and the way it is structured. Ask a relevant course lecturer to outline your potential timetable with you and the module choices you can make.
-
Do you offer talks and tours for every course?
Undergraduate Open Days
We offer as many department and course specific talks and tours as possible. Where a course doesn't offer a specific talk/tour you can still meet academics from your area of interest on a one-to-one basis throughout the day.
Postgraduate Open Days
We don't offer specific talks/tours for our Postgraduate Open Days. Instead, we offer direct access to academics from your area of interest on a one-to-one basis throughout the day. -
How far will I be from the town/city centres?
Both our Cambridge and Chelmsford campuses are no more than 15 to 20 mins walk from the city centres.
-
Will I get to meet students who are currently studying at the University?
Yes! Our Student Ambassadors take part in helping us run our Open Days as we feel it is vital that you get a chance to find out what life on campus is really like! Student Ambassadors conduct our Campus Tours, staff our Information Desks and work in most department areas. If you also want to get a good insight into student life, pop along and chat to the Students' Union representatives on the day.
-
What happens if I book my place, but then can't attend on the day?
Don't worry if you can't attend on the day. We'll send you a reminder email that will let you know our next Open Day dates.
-
Does it matter if I don't book my place, as I don't know if I'll be able to attend on the day?
Don't worry if you don't have time to register ahead of the day, we'll just need to take a few details from you on your arrival.
The benefit of registering before the event is that we'll send you an e-ticket no later than 4 days before. If you bring this e-ticket with you on the day (printed or on a smartphone) you can skip the queues on arrival and spend more time exploring the campus. -
What happens if I haven't received my e-ticket before the day?
All e-tickets are sent in the lead up to the date of the event you've registered for. If you've registered online but you haven't received your e-ticket yet please bear with us, your place at the Open Day is secure and it will be sent to the email address you registered with ahead of the event. All e-tickets will have been sent out 4 working days before the Open Day, at the latest. Please do also check your junk mail to make sure the e-ticket hasn't arrived in there by mistake.
-
What happens if I think of questions when I get home after the Open Day?

Can I come back for another visit if I need to or if I haven't made my mind up about coming to Anglia Ruskin?
