Choosing Time Slots

If you plan to visit both campuses you are responsible for organising transportation, typically this would take around 1 hour. Travel via train (Kings Cross Station to Potters Bar Station and vice-versa) is highly recommended and as such we suggest selecting slots with at least a 1-1.5 hour gap due to the commute between campuses.

If you have any questions or would like any more information, please email openday@rvc.ac.uk or telephone 020 7468 1257.
