You can find out more about courses and campus facilities including the Libraries, the Sports Centre, the Halls of Residence and the Students’ Union. It also gives you a chance to get to know the town centre if you’re not familiar with Bolton.

Who will find our Open Days most helpful?
If you are thinking of studying an undergraduate, pre-degree or further education course at the University of Bolton on a full-time basis then visiting one of our Open Days will be a very valuable experience. You can also bring a couple of guests with you (for instance your parents, a partner, a carer, or your best friend).
People thinking of studying an undergraduate, pre-degree or further education qualification with us on a part-time basis will also find our Open Days useful, but should also consider attending one of our Courses Advice Days| for specific information for part-time students.
For those thinking of studying a postgraduate|, professional development| or teacher training| course with us we recommend that you visit one of our Courses Advice Days| rather than an Open Day.
