Orientation

There are orientation and social events taking place during the first few weeks after your arrival. Arrival dates for the Autumn semester 2026 will be sent to you with your study offer.

Arriving during the Welcome dates means we have more staff available to assist you with your arrival and you have time to settle in before home students arrive.

Our Orientation programme is released during the summer for September starters and December for January starters. Students will be sent details once they're finalised.
