When to Arrive

1. Residential Orientation Programme

International students are recommended to come to Sheffield for the Residential Orientation Programme by 15th September 2008. This helps newcomers settle in, find their way around and to be prepared to start work at the beginning of the semester. Accommodation is arranged for this.
