NORTHUMBRIA EXPERIENCE DAYS

On-campus events open to our undergraduate full-time offer holders

Congratulations on your offer to study at Northumbria University! 

We are excited to invite you to book onto one of our exclusive offer holder events at Northumbria University. Our Experience Days are designed to give you insights into student life and provide a deeper understanding of your chosen subject. Explore hands-on course sessions, learn about modules and facilities, and meet fellow students who share your interests. We can't wait to meet you.      

Our upcoming Northumbria University Experience Days:

  • Wednesday 5th March 2025 – for subjects held at City Campus only (please note: excludes healthcare and midwifery courses) 
  • Saturday 15th March 2025 – for subjects held at both City Campus and Coach Lane Campus
  • Saturday 29th March 2025 – for subjects held at both City Campus and Coach Lane Campus

For more information about the NU Experience Day programmes, including what to expect, frequently asked questions, and to register, please see below.

Our City Campus Saturday events run from 9am with the General Sessions and Tours in the morning (9am-1pm), but if you only wish to attend the Subject Sessions in the afternoon then we recommend that you arrive by 12pm to allow time to check in, collect your Personal Programme and get to your session.

Our City Campus Wednesday event runs from 1pm with the General Sessions and Tours running until 4.30pm, but if you only wish to attend the Subject Sessions then we recommend that you arrive by 3.30pm to allow time to check in, collect your Personal Programme and get to your session.

Registration at City Campus takes place in our Business and Law Building, City Campus East 1 (CCE1), NE1 2SU, and you are welcome to bring up to 2 guests on the day.

Our Coach Lane Campus events run from 9am with the General Sessions and Tours 9am-11.30am, but if you only wish to attend the Subject Sessions then we recommend that you arrive by 11am to allow time to check in, collect your Personal Programme and get to your session. There will also be time to look at some of our accommodation after your subject session.

Upon arrival at the event, you will receive your own personal event programme which outlines the location and timings of the different sessions available. You will have the opportunity to explore: 

  • Central Exhibition - Find out more about our fantastic facilities, accommodation and support services.
  • Subject Sessions - Get a flavour of what you could be studying next year as well as the learning facilities.
  • Campus Tours - As well as tours of the Library, Sport Central and the Students’ Union.
  • Accommodation - A number of our accommodation buildings will be open for you to view.
  • General Sessions - Find out more about why you should choose to study at Northumbria, managing your finances, talented athlete support and preparing for Results Day.
  • Meet current students and academics.  

And most importantly you will be given the chance to ask any questions or receive any advice you need to help you make your decision.

Yes, our Northumbria University Experience Days are exclusively for offer holders and are a more in-depth experience compared to an Open Day. Now that you have narrowed down your search for where you would like to study it’s time to get some hands-on knowledge of what it is like to be a student at Northumbria. We do this through hosting engaging course sessions that give you an insight into the modules, facilities and teaching staff. In addition to this you will be in good company with like-minded students interested in the same course as you.

Our on-campus Northumbria University Experience Days, provide a great opportunity for you to take a better look around the campus and get used to where you will be spending the majority of your time here at Northumbria.

You will get the chance to have conversations with current students and your teaching staff. There will be personalised subject specific talks designed for offer holders, allowing you to collaborate with other students who are applying for the same course. This allows you to meet new people ahead of starting your degree, ensuring you get the most out of your time at Northumbria and setting you up for the best possible route to your future career.

UCAS applicants

If you have applied by UCAS you will only be able to accept or decline your offer once you have received all of your decisions from all of your choices. Once you have all of your decisions back, you will see a date in your UCAS Hub that you need to respond to your offers by. If you do not reply by the date specified your offer will be declined automatically for you by UCAS.  It is important that you do not allow this to happen, as it may not be possible to reinstate any offers later if the course becomes full.

DfE Apply applicants

You will need to respond to your offer on your Dfe Apply portal.

Direct Applicants

If you have applied directly to the University (either online on our website, via a representative or regional office or via your Student Portal if you are a current student) you will need to accept your offer on our applicant portal. 

To do this, you should use the ‘Respond to Offer’ button on your applicant portal, choose the course you wish to respond to and then accept or decline your offer.

If you have applied for more than one course at Northumbria, you should accept the course you wish to study and then decline any other applications. You can only hold one firm offer with Northumbria.

If you have previously accepted your Conditional Offer and are now Unconditional you will still need to accept your Unconditional Offer if you have applied directly.
