Your next steps
We look forward to welcoming you to the School of Geography and Planning. Here you can access your Welcome Week timetable, information about getting started with your studies and how to contact us, plus how to join a live Q&A session with your Geography and Environmental Science student societies.
Welcome Week
Your induction week (also known as Welcome Week) is Monday 23 to Friday 27 September 2024.
To welcome you, there are various events to meet staff and students, and receive important information regarding your experience while at the University.
Please attend all Welcome Week activities if possible, however if you are unable to attend, recordings and materials will be available online (just view these materials in time for week one).
Access your Welcome Week Timetable
If you have any problems accessing your welcome week timetable please contact geography@sheffield.ac.uk
Many of these events appear in your iSheffield app (Student login required). Download the iSheffield app and register. Once registered, you can find event information and a personalised course timetable.
Your Welcome Week finishes on Friday 27 September with a Welcome Walk, from Endcliffe Park to the Fox House Inn in the Peak District.
Optional module choice
As part of your registration with the university, you can choose your optional modules before Welcome Week.
However, if you are undecided with your choices, don’t worry - you will learn more about the course and meet module leaders to discuss your options during Welcome Week.
