About the tour
You can use the self-guided tour to visit our campus alone or with others, any time of the day. This means you can enjoy our South Downs campus in a safe manner and at your own leisure.
We recommend using the app map to guide you around campus. We would also advise bringing headphones with you to enjoy the audio guide fully. As soon as you arrive at the starting point of the tour your audio will start playing automatically. If you wish to stop at any point during the tour, just pause your audio.
