Student life sessions
An essential part of your open day, our student life sessions are an introduction to the services that support student life in Bristol.
You will need to book student life sessions when you register for your open day, excluding the Parents and Carers Question and Answer session which is non-bookable and is offered on a first come first served basis. All talks last for 30 minutes, unless otherwise noted.
You can also meet with these student support teams in person at the open day exhibition in the Richmond Building (80).
