UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX
Virtual Undergraduate Open Day - Tuesday 9th December
We know a great many students have not yet decided where to apply for university and may want some last-minute inspiration before the Christmas break. We’ve therefore decided to host a Virtual Undergraduate Open Day on Tuesday 9th December from 6pm-8:30pm.
This Open Day is a chance for students to get a taste of the University of Sussex and the diverse range of subjects we have on offer. It is a perfect opportunity for any student who is considering university that has been unable to attend an on-campus event so far.
Throughout the evening, academics from our range of schools of study will be hosting subject sessions on areas from Anthropology to Zoology, with time at the end for a Q&A with academics and current students. Professional Services will also be running a variety of talks to attend, including student life, housing, and careers.
