It’s quite normal for students to react differently to starting University. We are offering a programme of workshops to help you prepare for the start of university.
Making the most of Freshers Week
Freshers’ Week is a great opportunity to transition into uni life and make lasting friendships. Join our student Freshers’ Week Event Managers to learn what Freshers’ Week and the Student Union offers and how to make the most these opportunities. This talk may be especially helpful for students wanting to know about the Freshers’ Week wristband, how to find events suitable for their interests, or who are nervous about attending.
