Your Welcome Week is designed to help you settle in, meet new people, and make the most of campus life.

Events schedule

It is very important to attend your course induction. You will learn about your course, meet key people, and start making connections with other students. Alongside your course induction, you’ll find mandatory sessions, skills workshops, and of course social events.

Induction schedules and welcome events for courses starting in September 2026 will be published closer to the start of term.

Student ID collection

You can collect your student ID from the Student Hub on the 1st floor, Monday to Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00 during Welcome Week (Friday excluded).

University inductions and workshops

We've designed a series of welcome activities that will introduce you to the people, services, and spaces that will support your journey.
