WEEKDAY OPEN EVENINGS – LEVEL 2 & 3

Due to exceptional demand for our Level 2 and 3 Open Days, we have introduced this new option. Our Weekday Open Evenings are an opportunity to visit our campus and see the facilities.

These events include*:

  • A 25-minute presentation by our Principal, Lee Lucas
  • A tour of our campus with one of our current students

*Please note, there will be no support teams or tutors available at Open Evenings. Our Applicant Services team will be there to assist you and answer any questions you may have.

We ask that you arrive a few minutes earlier than your booked slot, as the presentation will begin promptly at the designated time.

VIRTUAL OPEN DAYS

When we aren't able to hold our in-person events, we run our Virtual Open Days instead. They feature talks and presentations like our in-person open days, with individual, course-specific talks.

If you'd like a link to a recording of a previous virtual Open Day (Level 2 & 3 or Undergraduate, Postgraduate & Level 4), please email events@fra.ac.uk.
