Open day is a record breaker

​​​​The University of Northampton welcomed a record number of prospective students to its Open Day, held on Friday 3 July.

No less than 2,386 visitors attended the event, which provided would-be students with information about undergraduate courses for the 2016-17 academic year.

Free entertainment offered on the day included a bungee run, a rodeo bull, a climbing wall, water zorbing and a barbecue.

There was also a packed programme of subjects talks, advice sessions and activities designed to give visitors all the information they need about studying at the University.

“Open Days are the very best way to get a real taste of university life and discover how studying here will be a life-changing experience.

“We have four more planned for 2015, with the next coming up in August, and I’d advise potential undergraduates to register their attendance now, via our website.”
