Your first week

Your first week is all about settling in, understanding essential admin tasks, academic introductions, and social opportunities to help kickstart your journey.

Induction and enrolment

Begin your studies by attending all induction sessions. You'll receive an email with pre‑enrolment instructions. After completing it, the Enrolment Team will finalise your registration and provide your timetable. At enrolment, you'll also receive your student ID card, which gives you access to study spaces and library services.

Course introduction

Review your module outlines, assessment methods, and deadlines. This is the perfect time to ask questions and get clarity on what’s expected.

Timetable and Systems Setup

Access your class schedule through TermTime, and learn how to use the university’s online tools like Weblearn for lecture notes, assignments, and announcements.

Welcome sessions

These include introductions to your faculty and staff members, an overview of your centre’s facilities, and practical guidance for the term ahead. Join events and activities to meet fellow students, connect with support services, and explore societies or opportunities outside the classroom.

VLE (Weblearn)

You’ll be shown how to navigate your Virtual Learning Environment: Weblearn, to access lecture/slides, submit assessments and engage in online discussions.

Meet new peers

Starting university is not just about your studies but it’s also about building connections. Your first weeks are a great chance to meet classmates, join induction activities, and take part in Freshers events. These moments will help you make friends and settle into campus life.
