What is it?
These are events aimed at helping you transition to life at University. Interactive activities will introduce you to key areas of the University, how you can access information and support, key study skills and how to look after yourself during your first few weeks at University. There will be the opportunity to get to know other new students starting at the University and learn about key life and study skills such as budgeting and becoming an independent learner.
A full programme of events will be uploaded a few weeks before the start date.
