How Are JMC's Info Nights Different to a Traditional Open Day?
If you’ve been to a university open day before, JMC’s January Info Nights might surprise you (in the best way!).
While Open Days are designed for broad exploration, Info Nights are more focused, more personal, and more decision-ready. They’re built for students who are actively thinking about their next step and want clear answers, not just a campus snapshot.
Our January Info Nights are for asking smarter questions, getting real answers, and feeling confident about your next move. If an Open Day shows you the broad possibilities, then an Info Night helps you pinpoint what’s right for you.
You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of:
- Which course fits your creative goals
- What support and industry-ready tools JMC offers
- How current students are turning their passions into careers
- Admissions pathways and key dates for 2026 applications
These evenings are free, open to future students, friends, family and anyone curious about what creative study at JMC truly looks like. Register now on the JMC Academy website to secure your spot!
We can’t wait to see you on campus IRL and to help you take the next step on your creative journey!
