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, Nursing Simulation Suite and Media facilities.
Take full advantage of the event and have a wander around the campus. If you are a prospective Sport, Art & Design, or Engineering student make sure you add the Lynher, White and Valency buildings to your list too.
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 First Website.
