Welcome Week information

What to expect in Welcome Week

Welcome Week is a very special time for us in Education Studies. We love meeting our new students, welcoming them to the Department and helping them start to feel at home. We are a small and very friendly community and you can expect a warm welcome and the chance to meet lots of staff and find out all about your course. You can find full timetable details of all Education Studies events during the week on the University’s Welcome webpages and here is an overview of what to expect.
