Visiting the History Department

We offer you several ways of seeing the department, campus, and student life here for yourself.

Open Days for Current Applicants

Current applicants are invited to come to one of the History Department’s Open Days. Open Days are primarily intended for applicants to whom we have already made an offer, but others are also welcome. They also are organised very differently to the above University Visit Days, offering an opportunity to sample the atmosphere of the campus, to meet current students and tutors, as well as to learn about the details of courses. We encourage all applicants to come but we strongly advise successful applicants (i.e., those to whom we have made an offer) to attend, even if they have already attended a University Visit Day.

For more information on our Open Days for 2013 please click here.

We still have space in our Open Days as shown below. If you would like to come and have not already reserved a place, please complete a booking form and either e-mail it to Christine Dundas or mail it to the address shown on the form.

The Open Days run from 1.30 pm until about 4.30 pm, and the dates for applicants applying during 2012-2013 are:

• Wednesday, 20 February 2013
• Saturday, 23 February 2013
• Saturday, 9 March 2013

A similar series of days will be held on roughly the same dates in 2014.

Travel details for Open Days. For travel details for those of you who have booked to come to one of our upcoming Open Days, please view the campus map. Student helpers will be around campus, helping to direct visitors to their destinations. There will be minibuses transporting people from car parks to the Chaplaincy Centre, or you may choose to walk instead. History Tour Guides will be conducting visitors from the Chaplaincy Centre to Bowland (Main) College, where History Department representatives will be waiting to sign you in and conduct you to a lecture theatre for your presentation. On Wednesdays registration will be in the History Department on B Floor, Bowland College. On Saturdays it will be in The Trough of Bowland bar.

We look forward to meeting you.

University Visit Days for Prospective Applicants

The next Visit Days will take place on

• Wednesday 28 August 2013
• Saturday 21 September 2013

Visit Days are primarily for students about to enter the upper sixth, or those wanting to look around before joining us in the autumn. The whole campus will be open to you: there will be organised tours, and departments such as History will be putting on special talks. For further details, or to register your attendance, please contact the Schools and Colleges Liaison Office.

Drop-In Sessions

These are for people considering applying to study at Lancaster, or for those who have already decided to come and who want to see more of the campus and the department. You get a talk on student life at Lancaster, a guided tour of the campus with current students, a presentation featuring History staff and students, and the chance to ask any questions you might have. They run from 1pm to 4pm on the following dates:

• Wednesday, 27 March 2013
• Wednesday, 23 October 2013

Further dates will be displayed here in due course. Visit the University Campus Tour pages to find out more and to book your place.

Campus Tours

On alternate Wednesdays through the majority of the year, guided tours of the campus are organised, leaving from the Library entrance 1.00pm. Further information about tours.
