Book an open day

Whether you want a deep dive on your subject with a course leader, some free portfolio or application advice, or just to explore at your own pace - our Open Events have got you taken care of.

When you love what you do, you want to share it. Once you're on campus we want you to feel able to ask anyone anything about HCA. Students and course leaders can help paint the picture of what it's life to live and study in Hereford, while other staff will be on-hand to assist with advice on everything from the application process to financial aid.

Find upcoming dates and tips below - or select your study level from the yellow menu bar for FAQs and an idea of what to expect from an Open Event.

You might find that you can't make any of our Open Day dates, or you might prefer a quieter experience. 

If that's the case, you can book on to a Campus Tour. These are a lighter-touch introduction to campus life and happen on set weekdays throughout the year. On a Campus Tour, students will give guide you around the campus, and you will have the chance to meet course leaders and get some dedicated time in their studios to find out more about the course.

Support staff can also talk you through anything from our approach to supporting student wellbeing, to making an application. 

Campus Tours are currently only available for degree and MA students - however we will do what we can to accommodate all students, so please reach out about availability if you are a prospective Post-16 or Foundation student. Just email outreach@hca.ac.uk.
