Orientation and registration
Freshers' Week: What is it?
Our main orientation programme for new students who will start their studies in September is called Freshers' Week.
Freshers' Week 2012 will be held 15-23 September, immediately before term starts. The International Students' programme of events during the week helps to smooth your transition to University life in the UK. The events introduce the University and provide practical information about life in England. You will be able to visit the city and learn something of its history, register with the health centre, open a bank account, ask lots of questions and make many new friends. There are opportunities for you to meet your professors, your classmates and there are also lots of social activities for you to attend with the rest of the student population. There is a programme for all new students for you to join. It is a busy week and it is highly recommended for all new students.
During your first few days you will need to collect your Uni Card, activate your IT account and complete online registration. More information on your first few days can be found in the International Students Guide.
Orientation January 2013
Our January Orientation will be held on 14 January and subsequent evenings. We try to cram as many orientations activities as possible in a short space of time to allow you to get into your programmes of study quickly. However, we are always on hand to answer questions.
