Bristol University campus tours

Get booked on to a Bristol uni open day campus tour and take a wander around Bristol uni’s Clifton Campus with current students to find out what the student experience is really all about. You’ll be taken around the facilities of the campus, however it’s important to note that the tours aren’t subject specific and so you won’t be able to visit individual faculties. However, it’s a great opportunity to find your bearings of where you’ll be studying, as well as to check out the student union, which will form a big part of your time at Bristol uni for sure!

Our Bristol uni accommodation is well-placed for getting to the Clifton Campus easily whether by foot, bus or bike – and you’re always welcome to pop in to chat to our teams if you have any questions about student accommodation in Bristol.
