Welcome Events

All new mature students are invited to a Welcome Event in September when you will have the opportunity for an early introduction to some of the University´s facilities and services. You will meet University and Students´ Union staff, current mature students, and, most importantly, other new mature students.

The Welcome Day for 2013 is:

• Tuesday 10th September

Invitations are mailed out to students in August and can also be obtained from Kathryn Axon your Mature Student Support Officer in Student Support & Guidance.
