Undergraduate English Literature and Creative Writing Open Days

Any prospective students who were unable to come to our Open Days can visit our page of YouTube videos of our Introductory talks.

The Department of English & Creative Writing holds a number of Open Days, when prospective students who have received offers of a place can visit the university campus to learn more about undergraduate courses, and to experience (however briefly) what being a student at Lancaster is like.

Travel and Campus Tour Arrangements

Download a copy of the campus map (pdf).

Could Open Day visitors choosing to travel by car use the Sports Field Car Park (Visitor Car Park K), located next to the tennis courts where you are able to park free of charge. A minibus shuttle service will be running from the Sports Field Car Park (Visitor Car Park K) onto campus, and a team of students and staff will be there to meet you on your arrival and present you with a car park scratch card.

If the Sports Field Car Park is full, please could you use the Alexandra Park (Visitor Car Park). Again, a minibus shuttle service will be running from Alexandra Park on all open days and a team of students and staff will be there to meet you on arrival and present you with a car park scratch card.

There will also be shuttle buses operating around the perimeter campus road, and there will be designated pick-up points close to Visitors Car Parks, and Open Day Venues.

When you arrive on the main university campus, please go to the Round House (number 8 on the campus map) and assemble outside in the Piazza adjacent to County College (number 7 on the campus map), where a representative from English & Creative Writing will meet you at 2.00 p.m. We will begin your visit with a talk on English and Creative Writing at Lancaster. This will be followed by a guided campus tour for students, which will include a look at undergraduate accommodation. A parents’ talk will be given during the tour, and refreshments will be served afterwards, when prospective students and parents will have the opportunity to meet members of the department. Parents will also be invited to go on a tour of campus, following their talk.
