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.

These events take place during the week on our bustling campus, you'll be able to see what it's really like to study here. We also offer an online alternative if you can't make it to campus – you'll still get the chance to talk to staff and current students with others starting the course.
