CONSERVATOIRE OPEN DAY

WHAT CAN I DO?

 Enjoy a tailored and personalised experience: You'll be able to attend department and course-specific talks, as well as having the opportunity to chat with lecturers, staff and current students to get your questions answered and see if we're the right fit for you. There are also general talks for things like finance and tours for you to see the accommodation options.

 Meet lecturers and staff: From handy course overview talks from the staff who would be teaching you, to Q+A sessions on the day covering subject-specific information and then more practical information.

 Explore our facilities and take tours: You can find out everything you need to know about our state-of-the-art facilities at our Open Day. You can also check out the locations and quality of accommodation on bookable tours that happen throughout the day.

 Ask our students questions: You can ask them how they picked their courses, and what made them choose us (or where to get the best pizza in Brum, the choice is yours!). On campus, you'll find lots of student ambassadors who can give you a great insight into student life and answer all your questions in person.

THE CITY

If you’re not from the area, then you should definitely check out:

 Food and Drink: The food and drink scene in Birmingham is thriving. Our street food festivals are award-winning and our restaurants are Michelin starred – well four are, the most out of any UK city outside of London. The city is packed with well-known top chains, full to the brim with a variety of independent cafés and bars (many offering student and other discounts) and the speciality supermarkets, butchers, bakers and farmer's markets make it a foodie's haven. 

 Nightlife: Birmingham has nightlife covered. There’s a reason it’s a must-visit destination for revellers all over the country. If it’s big clubs and bars playing the latest hits, then Broad Street is for you. Prefer the underground? Then Digbeth’s venues are where to visit. For the more bohemian night out, the independent scene of Moseley and Kings Heath is perfect.

 Shopping: The famous Bullring is packed with modern, glossy, big brand shops. It’s always developing, opening new stores and staying on trend. The brand new multi-million pound Grand Central has brought a new element to the shopping scene where shops and food, brands and independents live hand in hand. 

 Sport: Whether you're interested in sport as a participant or a spectator, Birmingham has plenty to offer. It’s home to three leading football clubs – Aston Villa, Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion. International cricket takes place at the world famous Edgbaston cricket ground.
