Welcome Week
21 – 26 September 2026
Welcome Week takes place immediately before the start of a new academic year. It’s an opportunity to meet your fellow students and members of staff, engage in a range of induction activities, and complete essential enrolment, administrative and mandatory governance tasks.
Welcome Week 2026 will take place from Monday 21 to Saturday 26 September 2026. There will be online and in-person events running throughout the week, and we encourage all new students to attend as many activities as they would like.
