All activities require booking, so make sure you have booked your place via the link in your invitation email.

'Life at Bristol' Exhibition

Meet the student services who will support you during your time at university in the Wills Memorial Building, Great Hall. Staff and students will be on hand to answer your questions about accommodation, funding, wellbeing, the students’ union and more.

This is your chance to talk to current students about what life is like at Bristol and learn more about how the University supports students from a diverse range of backgrounds. Ask us about Students’ Union networks such as the Black Students Network and the various cultural Clubs and Societies at the SU, such as the Asian Society. With over 150 countries represented in our student body, you will be sure to meet students from a diverse range of backgrounds, life experiences and interests.
