The day will give you the opportunity to find out more about what it will be like to study your chosen subject, meet some of your future lecturers, chat to current students and prepare yourself to be a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ student.
If you plan to stay over, make the most of your visit and book into the Courtyard Marriott hotel on campus. A 10% discount on the cheapest room rate is available on a first come first serve basis when you mention ‘ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ offer’. To book call the hotel directly on 0131 526 3210.
