Check in at Elwes Reception and enjoy a complimentary tea or coffee.

A warm welcome to your day, outlining what to expect.

Hear from a student about their UoG experience, with the opportunity to ask questions.

Meet the lecturers and hear from them about the modules you’ll take and study methods and styles you’ll use.

Computer Games Design

Introduction to world building with Unity
You will build a world using industry-standard tools. This session will introduce you to a range of techniques and workflows within the Unity game engine so you can craft an environment quickly and explore it with a first-person character.

Computer Games Programming

Building interactions in Unity
Explore games programming in C# with Unity to create interactions and explosions. This introductory session will cover some of the programming fundamentals for games development.

Computer Science
Computing (Level 6)

IoT: build it, break it, fix it (ethically)
You’ll create a mini IoT network using your phone as a device and publish live data to a shared system. Once it’s working, you’ll try simple “break it” tests (lag, spam, spoofed messages) and learn how real engineers design networks to cope—without the boring theory. Walk out knowing how modern connected products actually work.

Cyber Security

Who can break the system? Capture the flag – Dreadnought!
Enumerate a system in order to identify vulnerable ports and services, then exploit these weaknesses using SQL injection, causing a remote system crash and complete shutdown.

While offer holders take part in interactive sessions, guests can attend this Q&A session to find out more about UoG and ask questions about tuition fees and loans, accommodation options, admissions.

Take a guided tour around the campus and on-site accommodation with one of our student ambassadors and immerse yourself in life as a UoG student.

Off-campus accommodation will also be available to view at Pittville Student Village, until 5pm. Pittville is a hub of activity with 800 student rooms, social spaces, gym, studio and study suite. Find it on Albert Road, Cheltenham, GL52 3JG, with free parking available at the nearby Cheltenham Racecourse park and ride, a five minute walk from Pittville.
