Hereford College of Arts - Degree Level Open Day - Saturday 29th November 2025

The best way to know if a place feels right is to be there.

Our Open Events are designed to be open. Scheduled sessions happen throughout the day - and you choose the topics you want to explore in more depth.

There's no pressure. This is a day to explore, ask questions, and imagine what your future could look like.

Whether you know exactly what you want to study - or you are looking for some guidance on picking a specialism and making an application - you can focus on what matters to you, and get the individual support you need to take your next steps.

What to Expect:

Discover what you want to study

Speed-date courses at our drop-in sessions, talk to current students one-on-one, and use the day to find a course that really feeds your imagination.

Get a feel for where you’ll live

From student accommodation to local food and shopping, visiting the city centre is a great way to see yourself studying here.

Dive deep into a subject

Small group sessions give you the time to get to know course leaders, and ask the questions that matter to you. You can also take a specialist tour of the studios and technical workshops most used on the course.

Find out what matters to you

Drop in on our marketplace and join sessions covering everything from wellbeing to neurodivergence, student finance options, and portfolio or audition advice. Get first-hand guidance on the application process for creative courses, and find out more about our wraparound student support.

Visiting HCA:
Hereford train station is a 20-minute walk from our College Road campus, with direct links to London, Manchester, Birmingham & Cardiff. You can also grab one of the city-wide Beryl Bikes to cut down your journey time.

We have free parking on site (including accessible parking). As you arrive, you will likely notice the student housing block next to the train station with huge art installations on its exterior - that's our Station Approach accommodation!
