Empty space in your schedule with Big Brother set to finish? Wondering how you'll cope without Cameron and co? The thought of an empty Diary Room chair leaving you cold? Then get yourself along to the University of Aberdeen's Open Day on August 26 where you can have your very own reality TV moment. Back due to popular demand, the Big Brother style Diary Room allows visitors to give feedback to the camera and was a great attraction at last year's event.
Last year's University-wide Open Day attracted more than 4,000 visitors who have the opportunity to find out about all aspects of being a student, with a combination of presentations, displays and talks, ranging from student life and study abroad to the admissions procedure.
Marketing Officer, Lisa Rattray said: "Interest in this year's event has exceeded expectations and record numbers are expected. We've had enquiries from as far afield as Germany, Nigeria and China. The Open Day aims to show people how rewarding it is to become a student and the variety of opportunities available to them."
As well as the Big Brother style Diary Room, visitors will have the opportunity to watch University Rector, Clarissa Dickson Wright, host a Ready, Steady, Cook style event. They can also listen to an electro-acoustic musical extravaganza, while Northsound Radio will also be broadcasting live from King's College campus throughout the morning.
