We’re delighted to welcome you to Norland for our next campus open day on Saturday 17 May 2025, 9.30am-4.30pm.

We know just how important attending an open day is in your decision to study at Norland. Our open day provides the perfect opportunity to visit our campus and to speak to our students, graduates and staff about all aspects of our award-winning early childhood degree and integrated skills-based diploma.

When you book, you’ll be asked to select your preferred presentation time slot. The Discover Norland presentation will be led by Principal Dr Janet Rose and Vice Principal Mandy Edmond, accompanied by a current Norland student and a fully qualified graduate, known as a Norlander or Norland Nanny.

You’ll also be able to explore our Oldfield Park campus and speak to current students and staff from a range of departments, including the academic, placements, student support, admissions, accommodation, finance and Norland Agency teams. You should allow yourself 2-3 hours at Norland to get the most from your visit, including the presentation which will last approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Norland to give you a taste of what studying here is really like.

Book your place

Space for our presentations is limited. Once each presentation reaches capacity, we’ll remove it from the booking form. If you book and your plans change, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your space to someone else.

Due to limited space, our open days are for prospective students, their supporters and teachers/careers advisers only. We run these events at maximum capacity and, therefore, we’re unable to welcome family and friends of students/Norlanders. Many thanks for your understanding.

Norland is not liable for covering the costs of travel and/or accommodation for open day attendees in the event of the open day being cancelled, such as in the case of adverse weather or travel restrictions.

If you can’t attend our open day, we offer a range of virtual open events designed to help you to find out more about Norland from the comfort of your sofa.

“I cannot express how impressed my daughter and I were with our trip to Norland for its open day in beautiful Bath. Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and full of useful information about life at Norland and beyond. The day ran like clockwork, and staff had thought of our every query. We really enjoyed the presentation by current students and fully-fledged Norlanders, which was full of fascinating insights into both studying and working, and we also had a fantastically inspirational talk from the Principal, Dr Janet Rose – we could have listened to her all day! We wished we could have stayed longer but hope to be back again very soon!”
