Open Days

Centre Truro
& Penwith
What to expect at an open day
Open Days are fantastic opportunities to get a feel for the campus, courses and life at the University Centre Truro & Penwith.
Head to our Fal building foyer, where our student ambassadors and University Centre team will welcome you to the event. During your tour of the building, you will be able to visit the Learning Centre, Refectory, Nursing Simulation Suite, Media facilities, Lecture Theatre and more.
If you are a prospective Sport, Art & Design, or Engineering student our University Centre staff will familiarise you with the amazing facilities you’ll use in our subject specialist Lynher, White and Valency buildings.
Be sure to pick up as much information as you can. There will be a lot to take in during the event, so taking some information away with you will make your decisions a lot easier. Make sure you grab a prospectus and other literature before you leave, and if you have more questions you can reach the University Centre by visiting the Contact Us page.
If you’re planning to travel by car, parking for the event will be clearly signposted. If you’re planning to travel by bus, the Langarth Park and Ride is on the main road a few minutes away from the University Centre and there are bus stops right outside the campus. To view the latest and upcoming timetables please visit the Transport for Cornwall website.
