There will also be an opportunity for prospective students and visitors to view the extensive range of facilities at the Tremough Campus on Friday 5 September from 10am to 4pm at the Postgraduate Fair.
An open evening on Friday 5 September from 6pm to 10pm marks the start of the celebrations held at Woodlane. Everyone is welcome and visitors will be able to enjoy a variety of musical entertainment whilst sampling fresh local produce from the BBQ, before exploring the diverse array of work on display in the open studios.
