Welcome Week
Welcome Week runs from Monday 22 to Friday 26 September. There are no formal classes during this week but it’s a great opportunity to meet your fellow students, join a club or society and generally get to know your new home.
We’ll also be running additional activities, specifically for School of Medicine & Population Health (SMPH) students like you.
All full-time campus-based students are expected to attend the School’s Welcome Week events and part-time campus-based students are encouraged to do so.
