Undergraduate events

Academic Areas

You will have the opportunity to visit subject and service stands and attend talk sessions throughout the event.

Stands give you the chance to chat to our staff and students and ask any questions you have about life at UofG.

Talk sessions give you the chance to experience what a university lecture looks and feels like while gathering valuable information on a subject or service area.

To achieve the most well rounded and valuable experience on the day, we encourage you to attend both talk sessions and stands during your time on campus.

No booking is required for talk sessions and admittance is on a walk in basis. For busy talk sessions, we may ask parents, guardians, carers and friends to make space for prospective students.
