Postgraduate Diary: open days

After graduation, if you're interested in studying postgraduate, then you'll need to attend open days across the country (Josh Thompson)

One of the biggest events in the year where you can find out about Postgraduate study is the Postgraduate Study Fair, which is held on Wednesday 21 November 2012 at the University of Manchester.

Over 90 institutions from the UK and advisory bodies will have representatives there, so you can learn more about the course or courses you're interested in. Most universities also hold their own open days. See below.
