Offer Holder Days

Found a course that you'd like to apply for? Here are the next steps:

Offer Holder Days

Our Offer Holder Day events will give you a more in-depth opportunity to experience AUB, focusing on the specific course you have applied for.

These events are invite-only, so once you've received your offer (and if your course is taking part), you'll receive an Offer Holder Day invitation.

Offer Holder Day dates

These events take place during the week, either on our bustling, creative campus, where you'll be able to see what it's really like to study here, or online. Even if you can't make it to campus in person, you'll still get the chance to talk to staff and current students with others starting your chosen course.

Our 2025 Offer Holder Days will take place on the following dates:

  • Wednesday 23 April (online)
  • Wednesday 30 April (online)

In addition to our Offer Holder Days, we'll be running a programme of online information sessions to support offer holders (and their parents, carers, or supporters) with any queries or concerns they may have about starting university in September.
