Your arrival

We know that student life will be a little different for 2020/21, but you will still be able to benefit from joining a strong and vibrant student community.

We are developing an exciting programme of online and (socially distanced) on-campus activities for you to get involved with, from your Welcome Week, to regular activities throughout the term, as well as student societies and sports clubs – there will be plenty of opportunities for you to meet new people, make new friends and develop new skills, both digitally and in-person.

The safety and wellbeing of our students is our number one priority, and we will continue to follow UK Government guidance to ensure we are adapting our student experience to comply with appropriate safety measures, and there will be plenty of support available to help you settle in and adjust to life at university.
