We look forward to welcoming you to one of our Mini Open Days, our next event will take place on Friday 11 April 2025.
Mini Open Days are shorter than a full Open Day and offer a general overview of UEA life, but don’t include subject-specific content. These events are particularly suitable if you're looking for a quieter event than our main Open Days.
You can attend our Welcome to Life at UEA and Finance talks, meet students and speak to our experts in the Information Zone, as well as taking a tour our campus and student accommodation. You will also have the opportunity to explore and get a feel for the campus and Norwich.
Whether you’re considering undergraduate or postgraduate studies, a Mini Open Day is the perfect way for you and your guests to find out more about life at UEA.
Mini Open Days start at 11.30 finish by 15:00. Last tours depart at 14.30.
You can also download a free First Bus ticket on the day of your visit. This entitles up to 5 people to travel on one single ticket. Your unique code will be included in your pre-event emails.
