New Students

If you're joining us as a new student in September 2011, then this page is your starting point for essential information. The links to the right will take you to some general University of Sheffield new student information, which you should find useful. The Welcome to New Students link, in particular, will take you to vital information about fees, funding, modules and registration.

Intro Week at IS

look out for helpful student guides around the campus

Intro Week begins on Monday 19th September 2011. You will have plenty to keep you busy during this week, including Welcome Meetings from senior University staff, Welcome Meetings from us here in the School, Registration, Module Choice ... not to mention the myriad of social events organised by the Students' Union and various societies.

Student Services will have sent you a very large timetable of Intro Week events, but to make your life easier, we've created a couple of Intro Week timetables tailored to Information School students. You can download these now from the Downloads box on the right hand side of this page:
