FIVE thousand potential students and their families from all over the country are expected to come to the University of York's Open Day on Thursday, September 26.
The day offers visitors, including teachers and school careers advisers, a chance to see the campus and learn for themselves about life at the university.
There will be opportunities to see different types of student accommodation and some of the teaching areas as well as learn about academic and social life, facilities and university admissions.
The programme includes talks about different departments, opportunities to study abroad, employment skills, the university through parents' eyes, and student finance.
The potential students are mainly in their final year at school or sixth form college and will be deciding which universities to apply to between September and next January. A free bus service will run between the railway station and the Heslington campus, and parking at the university will be reorganised to help regular users and visitors.
