2024 open day dates

The UCAS deadline is 15 October 2024, which means most medical schools will have their open day during the summer months to give potential students plenty of time to consider their options. 

In this article, we provide medical school dates and useful links to help you get organised and booked in with your chosen open days before the UCAS deadline.

Feel free to scroll through the list or use Control + F (Windows) or Command + F (Mac) to find the medical school of interest to you. You can click on the open days link for further information and registration.

If you’ve missed an event, you can still contact the medical school directly for more information. Some universities may also hold more open days later in the year.

Key questions to ask when attending a medical school open day

• What type of medical degree is it? Some medical schools throw students straight into the practical side of learning medicine via hospital work placements in the first year while others make students wait until much later on into the degree. Which would you prefer?

• Would you live on-campus or off-campus? Try to make a point of checking out the standards of the accommodation while you’re there and find out the different levels of cost.

• Are there any lectures happening while you’re there that you could attend?

• Some medical schools put on special discussion sessions for their open day, are there any that interest you? Do you need to book it in advance?

• Does the medical school have any societies and sports clubs that interest you?
