Open day subject talks: July 2026
Our open day subject talks are a great way to learn more about the courses and programmes available at the ±¬ÁÏTV.
How do subject talks work?
These are the only fixed part of the day, which you choose when making your open day booking. You can book places for yourself and up to one additional guest. You are welcome to bring further guests to accompany you on the day and take part in central tours, talks and exhibitions, but in order to maintain safe room capacities, we cannot guarantee spaces for them in the subject talk(s).
You will receive a reminder email before the event with details of your pre-booked subject talks, and your QR code for entry.
If you have changed your mind about which subject talk you want to attend, details are available in the subject talk schedules. However, please be advised that booked visitors (prospective students and up to one additional guest) will be seated first, and only then will any remaining seats will be offered to unbooked students, then unbooked guests.
Some subject talks do become fully booked, but our subject exhibitions offer a great opportunity to meet representatives from the department and find out more about the courses on offer.
