What to expect at a ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Open Day
Thinking of coming to a ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Open Day but not sure what to expect? Our student ambassadors explain what you'll experience to help you make the most of your visit.
Hi! Here's the transcript for the Open Day video:
1
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:05,440
Hi, I'm Marlena
2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,480
and I'm one of the many student ambassadors
3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,440
here at the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿.
4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,200
I'll be showing you around the campus of the university
5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,800
and we cannot wait to meet you at our next open day.
6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,160
You'll start your day at the check-in where you’ll collect your guide,
7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,280
and then you can decide where to go from there.
8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,240
It is really easy to get to campus,
9
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:28,960
whether you're travelling by car or by public transport.
10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,200
If you decide to use the Park and Ride, you’ll be dropped by check-in
11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,200
and that’s where your day would begin.
12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,080
To help everything run smoothly on the day,
13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,120
please have your QR code ready to show at check-in
14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,880
which you should have received by email.
15
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:46,440
Hey, are you okay?
16
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,600
It's just right there.
17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,360
No worries. Have a good day.
18
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,760
You can come and ask us questions at any time,
19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,160
even if you just want advice on where to get lunch.
20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,280
Once you're ready to start,
21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,800
one of the first things to do is to take a campus tour.
22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,000
I'll be showing you around
23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,600
some of the main uni buildings, including the Ravelin Sports Centre,
24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,400
which is one of the most sustainable sports centres in the UK.
25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,640
My favourite part of the campus tour
26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,440
is sharing my student experience
27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240
and also sharing my favourite spots around the uni.
28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,200
If you'd like to see more of the city, you can hop on the coach tour
29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,160
to see the beach.
30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,520
My top tip is: you can do this tour at any time of the day
31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,120
so it fits around your key talks.
32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,680
I’ll also show you the library,
33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,360
which is great if you need a quiet place to study.
34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,040
During term time, it’s open 24 hours
35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,600
and you can book rooms for group assignments.
36
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,600
When I came to an open day, I immediately felt at home
37
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,240
and could picture myself here.
38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,680
On the day, you’ll have talks covering your uni essentials.
39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speak to us about what's important to you
40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,840
and we’ll be able to point you in the right direction.
41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,360
You might want to learn how to make the most of your student finance.
42
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,720
There’s a talk for that.
43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,560
Or finding your new home in Portsmouth?
44
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,880
There's a talk for that.
45
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,840
And if that's not enough,
46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,920
you can speak to our student support teams
47
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,120
at our information fair.
48
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,080
This is what you're here for, right?
49
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120
To find out if the course is for you.
50
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,560
The talk will most likely be in your course building
51
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,120
where you get to see the facilities,
52
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,280
and this will help you to picture yourself here.
53
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,680
When I came to the open day,
54
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840
I was able to meet the people who would teach me.
55
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,480
The lecturers were so friendly and informative.
56
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,640
On open days, we have a number of halls open for you to visit.
57
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:34,640
We'll show you around the rooms, the kitchens and social areas.
58
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:35,800
There are so many options.
59
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,760
You can choose between catered and non-catered,
60
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,280
in the city or by the sea.
61
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,240
There's something for everyone.
62
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,080
We can't wait to see you at our next open day
63
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,040
at the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿.
