We’re delighted to welcome you to Norland University of Early Childhood for our next Undergraduate Open Day on Saturday 15 May, 9.30am-5pm.

We know just how important attending an Open Day is in your decision to study at Norland University. 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.

What is the Discover Norland presentation?

Our Discover Norland presentation explores our BA (Hons) Early Childhood Education and Care and Norland diploma in detail, providing insight into the course, the application process, fees and funding your studies and the Norland Nanny career. Led by Professor Dr Janet Rose, Vice Chancellor, and Professor Rebecca Digby, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Education and Research), the presentation also features a current Norland student and a fully qualified graduate, known as a Norlander or Norland Nanny.

If this is your first Norland Open Day, we strongly recommend attending the presentation as part of your visit.

If you’ve attended the Discover Norland presentation at a previous Open Day, you don’t need to attend it again unless you would like to. When completing the booking form, simply let us know whether you would like to attend a presentation.

You’ll also be able to explore our Oldfield Park campus and speak to current students and staff from a range of departments, including:

  • degree and diploma lecturing team
  • placements
  • student support
  • admissions
  • accommodation
  • finance
  • Newly Qualified Nanny (NQN) and Norland Agency

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.

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

“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!”
