Open Days and Interview Visits

Looking for information when you are thinking of applying to study is an useful but sometimes a laborious process. It is much more effective when accompanied by a visit to the University or the City where you are thinking to study. We organise Open Days, interview visits and campus tours to help you with your decision and everyone is welcome to come along and talk to current students, explore the campus, see where you might live, and come to your own conclusions.

University Open Days

If you are thinking of applying for one of our programmes in Computer Science, it is good to come along to one of the University open days. Staff and current students will be on hand to offer information and answer questions about admissions, degree programmes and student life. Please visit the University of York Open Days page for more information.

On these days our admissions tutor gives talks on studying Computer Science and there are demonstrations in our laboratories. In addition there is a mini-lecture on 'Big Numbers and Quantum Computing' which gives interesting insight to this scientific discipline.

Departmental UCAS Interview Days

Once you have applied for one of our courses here at Computer Science and are predicted to meet our admissions requirements, will invite you to come along to one of our Saturday interview days for an individual interview. This is more of an opportunity for you to meet with current students, lecturers and go on the departmental tour with one of our student ambassadors to see some demonstrations of student lab work and current research. Your parents and family are welcome to attend with you on the day and enjoy the dynamic nature of the day and to see the place where you might be spending the next three or four years of your life..

During the course of the day there will be a panel question and answer session with both students and lecturers on the panel. This is a good opportunity for you to ask questions about many things including our degree programmes, the University, accommodation and the City of York. We provide a sandwich lunch in our common room during which you can chat to other applicants and during the afternoon you have a guided tour of the campus with some of our current students and see one of their study bedrooms.

You will be contacted individually to attend one of these interview days after you have submitted your application.

Visit the interviews section on our 'How to Apply' web page for more information about departmental interview days.
