Important: Attendance at Welcome Week Events

We look forward to meeting you in Welcome Week. There is a varied programme of events throughout the week, which we hope will inform and motivate you as you begin your programme of studies. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to socialise with your course mates and learn about the support available to you while you study.

Your Welcome Week timetable is below, and we encourage you to get involved in as many of these activities as possible. Sessions which are compulsory for new students are noted on the timetable. Please note that this is different from your teaching timetable, which will take effect when lectures begin on Monday 27th September.

Need help finding your way around? Please see the Singleton Campus and Bay Campus maps to help you find the locations of each session.
