Marketing and Student Recruitment organise our key recruitment event; our Open Days and Offer Holder Days in both Colchester and Southend.

Departments will be contacted by either Alice Couling or Jade Clancy during the planning for these events to organise timings, presentations etc.

University-wide there is a marketing campaign for both Open Days and Offer Holder Days, however if departments would like to develop an additional marketing campaign specific to their department, get in touch with the relevant faculty marketing contact to discuss ideas and options:

For general marketing queries regarding Open Days or Offer Holder Days, contact Paige Morgan

Open Days

We have three Colchester Open Days (June, September and October) and one Southend Open Day (October) each year for the following year’s intake. There is also a smaller Clearing Open Day in Colchester following A-Level results day for students who have gone through clearing and who would like to visit the campus.

Offer Holder Days

Offer Holder Days run from February through until May every year, usually on Saturdays. Some departments invite applicants to interview. Offer Holder Days provide another opportunity for prospective students to visit campus accommodation, speak to students and get to know the department
