Biological Sciences

Open Days

St Michael's BuildingOpen Days are designed for students who have received an offer from us. If you are considering coming to Portsmouth, but have not yet applied, please come and visit us.

Within the School of Biological Sciences we place a high emphasis on the personal contact between students and staff, and likewise believe that you should have the chance to experience the facilities and meet our staff face to face before committing yourself to a particular course.

So what will you do and see on the day?

During the optional morning session you will have the chance to look around the university including walking tours of the campus and halls of residence. There will be talks about accommodation and finance, plus a chance to visit the library, students’ union, and meet staff from the sports department.  

The afternoon will be spent with us. You will meet staff and students, and learn more about the degrees we offer.  You will have a tour of our building and see some of the laboratories and facilities we have to offer.

Please note that the programme may vary between Wednesday and Saturday sessions. Please check the information e-mail/contact the department prior to attending for information.

We hope you will leave with a good impression of the Biological Sciences degree courses.

You will automatically be sent an invitation if you receive an offer from us. If you have any questions please contact the Science Admissions Team on 023 9284 5550.
