Day at the AA: Bedford Square

Open Day for Offer-Holders, Applicants and Prospective Students

We invite prospective applicants, offer holders and their guests to join us for Day at the AA in our Bedford Square site in London on Friday 21 March. The event will serve as an opportunity to experience first-hand the community, ideas and voices that makes the AA's Bedford Square campus a special place to study.

Day at the AA is your opportunity to spend a day in the shoes of an AA student. Whether applying to our Foundation, Intermediate, Diploma or Postgraduate Programmes, you will have the opportunity to experience the distinct learning environments of our Academic Programmes. Attendees will have the opportunity to spend time in Unit and Programme studios and see how students utilise the remarkable facilities of the AA.

Throughout the day, there will be opportunities to meet with academic and administrative staff, hear from our students, see our Bedford Square buildings and experience AA Life. The day will be punctuated by interactive installations and chances to discover hidden aspects of our resources.
