Finally on the way home Zinat, who was in the tiger costume, found she wasn’t the only person in Birmingham dressed up as a furry animal.

The final campus visited by the blog today was Margaret Street. A tour was taking place that took in the library, the studios and the other facilities on offer. Margaret Street is situated in the city centre and is a beautiful redbrick building.

Three cast members of Hollyoaks popped in to the student Union at City North at today’s Open Day to sign autographs and meet fans.

Rob Norbury who plays Riley Costello, Craig Vye who plays Ethan Scott and James Atherton who plays Will Savage took time out from promoting a club on Birmingham’s Broad Street to chat to the University Press Office

Here's current student, Darren Kail, with his wife Caroline and one of their children, Kieran, who is four years old, making friends with the Tiger.

 

Darren is a second year Rehabilitation Work (Visual Impairment) student and he brought his family over to the Open Day to show them where he's studying. Darren is so enthusiastic about his course Caroline has said she is considering studying at the Faculty of Health too.

The Tiger's arrived at City South which is home to the University's Faculty of Health. Here you can view state-of-the-art teaching facilities such as the life-like 'patient' SIM-man, seen here with Sophie Daffern from Coventry who was visting the Open Day.

 

You can also look round the mock operating theatre and speak to members of staff such as Senior Lecturer Adele Millington, who's pictured with the Tiger.

 

 

We've got the displays and tours at Millennium Point running again as yesterday. The next tour due to start is at 12pm for the Property, Construction and Planning courses such as Architectural Technology, Building Surveyiing and Real Estate Management.

The Student Union at City North had a refurb over the summer and now offers a choice of places to have a drink and something to eat. The bar and sandwich shop are open throughout the Open Days so visitors can have a rest and a snack or meal.

 

The Student Union at this campus houses a hairdressers, a beauty salon, a convenience store and is home to Scratch Radio, the student-run radio station where you can take your first steps on the path to broadcasting fame!
