Book a tour of Augustine House
Would you like to be shown around Augustine House? From Academic Development week onwards (w/c 21 October) you can book yourself onto a tour. You’ll have the choice to join a tour with other students (a good opportunity to meet others) or 1:1 if crowds aren’t your thing.
Take a self-guided tour
You can take a self-guided tour around Augustine House to help you get your bearings. The starting point is at the entrance to Augustine House, simply pick up a map and scan the QR code on the front. This will take you through to the self-guided orientation. You’ll learn about the services, facilities and resources we provide, answering questions along the way.
You can also take a self-guided tour of the Drill Hall Library. It works in a very similar way. Access the self-guided orientation and take the tour. You’ll learn about the services, facilities and resources we provide, answering questions at set intervals.
