Guided tour FAQs

Where does the tour start?

One of our Student Ambassadors will be waiting to meet you in the Emily Wilding Davison Building foyer. They'll be wearing a bright orange top so you can't miss them. We recommend you arrive about 10 minutes before your booked time.

Will I get to see the accommodation?

We can't guarantee you'll be able to see inside our halls but you will get to see where they are on campus and have a look at the outside of the buildings. Virtual tours of our halls are available here.

How long does the tour take?

The tour should take approximately 1 hour.

Will I be able to visit an academic department?

Your student ambassador will be able to point out the academic buildings you're interested in and you may be able to have a look inside. If you'd like to speak directly to academic staff, we recommend coming along to one of our Open Days, or contacting them directly for an informal chat.
