Open Day Find your purpose
City Campus 6 November 2021

What if you had three years to change the world? Today, the choice is yours At UWE Bristol we want our students to make a choice. To choose a university that pushes itself as much as it pushes you. To choose a community that inspires you as much as it supports you. Where you’ll be encouraged to challenge the way things are done and tackle the big issues head on. And where you’ll get to pursue your passion through subjects that excite you and give you purpose. Everyone here, from our students and staff, to our industry partners and alumni, are driven by the same goal – how can we make things better? If you share that same mindset, welcome to UWE Bristol. You’ll be in excellent company. Choose to study here and we’ll focus on making sure you stand out from the thousands of other students who graduate every year in the UK. Our partnerships with industry-leading organisations and
businesses help keep our courses relevant and your future skills in demand. And by investing in our facilities we’ve created the most effective, empowering setting for your studies. But don’t just take our word for it. Today is your opportunity to see for yourself. Explore our facilities, chat to our students and passionate staff, find out about the wide-range of extra-curricular activities on offer and get a feel for the community you could be part. And finally, don‘t forget to have a look around Bristol before you leave. We’re biased, of course, but it’s hard to think of a better UK city to study and live in. Remember, this is your university experience and no one else’s. Choose to do university right.
