Welcome Packs
September 2025 Welcome Packs.
Our welcome packs provide important information about your programme and starting your studies so that you can settle into University life during your first few weeks. Check the Welcome packs accordion for your specific welcome pack.
Packs include:
- A welcome from your course team
- Information about welcome and induction week, including our two SU Fairs
- Your academic contact (course leader). You will also be issued a Personal Tutor once you commence your studies
They may also include reading lists and resources.
If you cannot currently see your welcome pack, please check back regularly for updates.
The purpose of these pages is to help you prepare for coming to study with us. We want to make sure that you are inspired, anchored, prepared, and enabled to succeed.
