Get Uni-Ready
Join us on Saturday 27 April 2024 for the opportunity to experience life as a student at UoG. Get Uni-Ready is all about preparing you for the best possible uni experience.
Get Uni-Ready on Saturday 27 April, 11am – 3pm. Explore the campuses where you’ll be studying, discover the local area and view accommodation options to see where you could be living. You’ll also get the chance to meet current students and future friends.
Depending on where you’ll be based, your day will either start at our vibrant Pittville Student Village in Cheltenham, or our modern Business School at Oxstalls Campus, Gloucester.
If you’ve recently attended an open day, we still recommend booking onto the Get Uni-Ready event. It differs from an open day, with practical sessions that help you prepare for student life.
On the day

To help you get set up in your new home at UoG, we’re running a photo competition to win a £200 gift voucher for IKEA.
To enter, all you need to do is capture up to 15 photos on the day using our POV.camera app*.
Our team will review the entries, and the best shot will be awarded the IKEA voucher.
