You will be taught by active and award-winning researchers whose books and articles make ground breaking discoveries and contribute to a better understanding of how our societies works. The teaching team are widely recognised as providing excellent support to our students, and you will be trained in critical thinking and research skills that will set you up for your professional future.
Welcome Week marks the beginning of your future at the University. There are lots of events designed to help you get a great start: you will meet your tutors and your student mentors (FANS), choose the options for your course, and get advice on all aspects of student life. You will be able to explore the University, meet other new students, and make your first friends (a really important part of being a student!). By the end of Welcome Week you will have everything you need to start your classes. We hope you will have had some fun too! We cannot wait to meet you as you begin your journey with us.
