Inclusive Welcome Week

Harmonised PGT Course Start Date

Propose aligning the course start dates for most PGT students to enhance Welcome Week participation and transition, using an evidence-based approach, from 2025/26 entry.

Consider joint peer-led sessions for Welcome 2024

Based on current student feedback, explore options for offering joint events for international PGT students during Welcome 2024, offering topic-specific peer-led experience sharing session, and panel-discussion style networking events to enable them to learn from current (outgoing) PGT students, and make connection with other home and international PGT students outside of their immediate department, course or cohort.

Harmonising PGT course start date (for 2025/26 entry)

Use data to understand student behaviour (entry date to the UK), current departmental engagement (departmental event offering for PGT students), and student sign-up for PGT Welcome Week event sessions (in 2022 and 2023) to establish evidence, gather feedback from colleagues in both professional services and academic departments, present a paper to Education Committee meeting in June 2024 to convey the benefit of the proposed change and seek approval.

Update: The proposal has received support from all Faculty Education Boards and SLEEC.
