Alternative opportunities to visit

Wednesday guided campus tours

Guided campus tours run every Wednesday and are a good opportunity to see the facilities and services that we offer here at the University of Surrey - as well as seeing a student study-bedroom.

Our guided campus tours last approximately one hour and leave from Senate House Reception every Wednesday (apart from days when the University is closed at Christmas and Easter) at 1pm prompt.

To book a place, please fill in the online form.

If you wish to take a campus tour as part of an Open Day, there is no need to book. Campus tours run all day during our Open Days.

Self-guided campus tour

If you are unable join one of our Wednesday guided campus tours, you are very welcome to take a self-guided tour at a time which is convenient for you.  

You can pick up the tour notes and a campus map from Senate House Reception, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm.

We would suggest you follow the tour between 9am and 5pm when most University facilities will be open for you to see. However, you will not be able to see inside a student study-bedroom on this tour.

Visting an academic department

As part of the application process, candidates being considered for a place are normally invited to a UCAS application visit day by the department concerned. Many departments include a campus tour as part of their day's programme.

Those wishing to visit a department at any other time should contact the Enquiries Team (contact details below) who will put you in touch with the Admissions Team of the relevant department.
