BEFORE WE GET STARTED… FINDING YOUR WAY Our campus is divided into different coloured zones to make it easy to navigate. Throughout the programme, we’ve put coloured glints next to each activity so you know which zone you need to go to. And to make it even easier for you on the Open Day, we’ve included a pull-out map at the front of this programme, with all the zones clearly marked. Don’t worry, if you need extra help, you’ll find Information Point gazebos dotted all over campus. Staffed by our students, they’ll be able to point you in the right direction. CHECKING IN ON THE DAY When you arrive, you’ll need to register with us in the Students’ Union by scanning your QR code. If you forget your QR code, don’t worry – we can still check you in. You can also register at any of the Information Points around campus.
WELCOME AREA AND INFO ZONE OPEN FROM 8.30AM–4.00PM MEDICINE, NURSING AND RELATED COURSES If you’re coming to talk to us about Medicine, Midwifery, Nursing, Operating Department Practice or Paramedic Science, you’ll need to head to the Purple Zone. Just 15 minutes away, you can take a shuttle bus from outside The Enterprise Centre (Orange Zone) between 9.00am and 4.00pm. We can also provide accessible transport if required – simply let us know at the Information Point outside Congregation Hall (map reference L28) in the Pink Zone. FOOD AND DRINK In need of refreshment? You’ll find a list of all of our catering outlets and their opening times on page 10. LUGGAGE You can leave any luggage with us for the day – just ask a member of staff at the welcome area (map reference K27). FIRST AID In case of emergency, you’ll find a St John Ambulance first aid point in the Students’ Union.

Our diverse student community creates a unique and lively atmosphere, and we have over 250 clubs and societies, allowing you to pursue your passions and interests, or discover new ones. And we host more than 50 live gigs a year at the Nick Rayns LCR, including both established and up-and-coming bands. Past acts include Haim, Bastille, Stormzy and Ed Sheeran. When you want to explore further afield, Norwich is just a short bus ride from campus. Small yet vibrant with much more to it than first meets the eye, Norwich is an historic city that buzzes with life, and is full of independent shops and cafes. Explore it by day then, if you’re after a big night out, look no further than the clubs in the cultural quarter in the centre of the city. Fancy a quieter evening? Catch up with friends in one of the many cosy pubs or trendy bars, or take a trip to the cinema, theatre or bowling alley.
