Welcome to the School

All MSc students should attend the Welcome to the School afternoon, designed to help you to make connections with your new coursemates and meet some key staff. There will also be the opportunity to join an MSc Student Ambassador led Guided Tour of Campus.

You will be encouraged to network with others including:

• students
• academics
• professional support colleagues

This will help build a sense of belonging and community.

Please check your Welcome Week timetable for details on the Welcome to the School on Saturday 31 January 2026.

Introduction to MSc and Meet Your Classmates

At this session you will check in to your MSc course and meet your classmates for the first time.

You will need to scan a QR code to check in to your MSc course. All School of Management MSc students need to QR code check in before Monday 16 February 2026. We will confirm details of the QR code in January 2026.

You must QR code check in for your MSc course.

It's very important you attend this session. You will meet your Director of Studies, your Student Experience Officer, MSc Office Team Programme Support and your new coursemates.

In this essential session you’ll learn how to understand your Semester 1 timetable and other useful information to help you manage your first few weeks of study, including opportunities to get involved and support to help you succeed during your Master's. The MSc team will be available to answer any questions you have as you settle into your course.

Most of our master's courses include both compulsory and optional units. Other universities sometimes call them 'modules'.

You will have to make your self selection option choices for semester 1 and semester 2 online in semester 1. The system for choosing units online will be available during a specified time only. We will notify you of the dates in February.

You should think about your unit choices before Welcome Week.

To help you understand optional units and Semester 3 options, we will provide more information in February.

We are very proud of our excellent MSc record on employability. This session will give an overview of what graduate recruiters look for, the recruitment process and timeframe, and how the MSc Careers team can help you achieve your career goals.

If you have an Internship on your MSc this session will introduce you to the opportunities and support available this year. Not all MSc courses have an internship option.
