The First Weeks of Term

We know that starting your Master's degree can be both exciting and at times overwhelming, but we are here to support you. Our first week of term (Week One) will be an orientation week. We have organised a schedule of events to welcome you and provide you with all the essential information you will need during your year with us.

During the week, you will attend sessions organised by key people on the postgraduate team. You will also access module taster sessions which are aimed at giving you a preview of what to expect in each optional module, so that you can make an informed decision about which modules you would like to sign up for.
