If you're joining us as a new student in September 2013, 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.

Intro Week at the Information School

look out for helpful student guides around the campus

Intro Week begins on Monday 23rd September 2013. 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 two 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:
