Students and teachers came from all over Ireland, bringing an attendance of  19,500 students from 310 schools, who were  accompanied by 500 career guidance counsellors and teachers. 90% of those attending were fifth year students, who will be making their CAO applications in January 2003.

The objective of the UCD Open Days was to provide future students with information on the career options open to them and the opportunity to see campus facilities and the on-campus student residences. Briefing sessions for groups of students took place every half hour in the Student Centre, from 9am until 12.30pm, after which the students were free to visit the various buildings which had on-site talks and displays. Staff were available to discuss the courses on offer in all the faculties.
