Parents and supporters

We aim to help you navigate the open day and support your child/dependant while planning their next steps.

Before the open day

  • Book your place on an information session for parents, carers and supporters. We are offering two 30-minute information sessions for parents, carers and supporters at 10 am and 2:30 pm in Room LG.02 in the School of Mathematics. These sessions must be booked in advance. To do this, log in to your child/dependant's booking portal account and book your place.
  • Make sure your child/dependant has accessed their portal account before arriving. When they sign in, they can view or edit the booking, and download the QR code which they will need to access any of the booked sessions on the day. Information about the booking portal account is available in their booking confirmation email. There is no need to check-in centrally when you arrive.
  • Talk to your student about why they want to study a particular subject and what they are looking for in a university.
  • Encourage them to think about questions they might want to ask.
  • Bristol is a beautiful city, and the University is right at the heart of it. If possible, plan some time to explore.
  • Plan ahead to make sure you and your child/dependant get the most out of the open day. See more information about planning your day.
  • Have a look at our information for parents and carers.

On the day

  • Encourage your child/dependant to ask questions for themselves at the open day exhibition in the Richmond Building.
  • Due to capacity limitations, some subject activities may not allow for a guest to attend. This is a great chance to explore the campus yourself, ask our stewards any questions, have a coffee at one of our campus cafes, or enjoy a bite to eat from a local street food stall in Royal Fort Gardens. These locations will be marked on the map you will receive on the day.
