On 14 April, the 2024 Open Day of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) arrived as scheduled. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary celebration of the university's founding, parents, students, alumni, and partners from around the world came in large numbers, answering the invitation from UNNC. The number of visitors to the UNNC campus exceeded ten thousand, and the online live-streaming platform also attracted approximately two million viewers, both setting historical records for open day attendance.

“Critical thinking - looking for a definition”, “Artificial intelligence: how does it work?”, “An introduction to studying literature”, “Experience the magic of gamified learning with LEGO and beyond” … In the classrooms of the popular demo classes, teachers from the Centre for English Language Education (CELE), Nottingham University Business School (NUBS) China, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (FHSS), and Faculty of Science and Engineering (FoSE) shared knowledge from multiple fields, presenting a vivid and intuitive international teaching scene to the public, narrowing the gap between guests and cutting-edge knowledge.

The university also provided recruitment consulting services for domestic and international students, comprehensively answering their questions about programme selection, course planning, campus life, and other aspects. Nicholas, a student from Malaysia, and his uncle specially travelled from Kuala Lumpur to participate in this open day event. After touring the campus, they expressed that UNNC's excellent hardware facilities and open international atmosphere left a deep impression on them.

In addition, the open day also gathered representatives from more than 10 well-known domestic and foreign universities such as the University of Southern California, the University of Glasgow, the University of Melbourne, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, providing consultation services for UNNC students planning to study abroad.
