Introduction to MSc and Meet Your Classmates

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

You will need to scan a QR code to check in to your MSc course. All School of Management MSc students must check in using the QR code before Monday 12 October 2026. We will confirm details of the QR code in September 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 course mates.

In this essential session you’ll learn how to understand your Semester 1 timetable, access Moodle (our Virtual Learning Environment) and other useful information to help you manage your first few weeks of study, including opportunities to get involved. 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 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 Semester 3 options (if your course includes optional units) we will provide more information in September.

We are 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 support you to 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.
