Book an open day: Post-16 courses

Through the year we run Open Evenings during the week, and occasional Open Days on Saturdays. Always check the timings when booking on to the individual events however our Open Evenings usually run from 5.30pm to 8pm, and our Saturday Open Days start at 9.30am and usually finish around 12.30.

Our Open Events are pretty popular. Booking ahead will ensure you can get a place as some events may fill up.

You can book your space via Eventbrite here. ADD LINK

Once you book we can also send you any additional information ahead of the event via email. 

Our doors are always open, and if you have a friend who wants to join - or you forgot to book - our team will do everything they can to fir you in.

Absolutely. There's a lot to take in, so having someone to talk it through with can help. 

Feel free to bring as many guests as you want.

Our course areas are designed to be broad enough for you to try different disciplines and explore your individual interests - but we also understand that you might be considering different areas at this point in your journey.

CHECK We run all the course talks once per Open Event, so when booking select the course you are most interested in first - however if you are interested in a second subject area, course leads will be available after that first session to talk to you and answer any questions you might have. 

There is plenty of parking on-site. The main car park is located behind our Folly Lane building. You can access it by turning off Folly Lane and onto the Whittern Way, and then taking the first left.

We pride ourselves as being an accessible campus that is welcoming to everyone. You can email outreach@hca.ac.uk with any specific questions, or to make any necessary adjustments.

There will also be the opportunity to find out more about HCA's support for students while studying.

Absolutely. While most of our applications are processed online, you are more than welcome to fill out a paper form on the day and get started. The sooner you apply, the sooner we can start booking you in for interviews or auditions.

There will hot and cold drinks available in Atrium before, after and during the event if you're thirsty, or just need five minutes.
