Director of Studies Welcome Talk

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.

Getting started on your MSc

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.

Unit choices

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

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

You should think about your unit choices before Welcome Week.

To help you understand the optional units and summer options (if your course includes optional units) we will provide more information in September.

Careers Support and the Professional Development Programme

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. You will also have the opportunity to have a professional LinkedIn photo taken.

Summer Internship Talk

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