Campus Tours

How to book an in-person tour of the University campus and what to expect.

Each tour is guided by one of our current student ambassadors, giving you the opportunity to explore the campus and hear first-hand about student life at the University. Whether you're considering applying, have already received an offer, or simply want to get a feel for the campus, our tours offer an informal and friendly introduction. Tours take place on Saturdays throughout the year, last approximately 50 minutes, and cover many of the key facilities and locations that make up our vibrant campus community. If you are unable to attend one of our scheduled tours, you are welcome to explore the campus independently using our the self-guided tour route.
