The first few weeks of university can be packed with information, so we've created these pages to help you navigate your first few weeks.

If you're a new student, you can find out what you need to know before you arrive, including information about moving into halls and enrolment and induction, as well as useful information about what to expect in your first few weeks.

If you’re a returning student, take a look at our Returning Students page for some useful reminders ready for September.

We've also created a dedicated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) area to help answer all your queries.
