Freshers' Week
Join us for a relaxed, informal department mixer – the perfect chance to meet other students in your department and get to know your academic community! Enjoy tea, coffee, soft drinks and snacks (available to purchase), and take part in the icebreaker activities brought to you by Academic Skills. Our very own Freshers Week captains in your department will also be there, ready to share their experience and answer all your questions!
This event is free to attend and open to all students - just turn up - you do not need a wristband to attend! However, you will be required to check in upon arrival so please bring your student card with you.
The following courses are welcome at this event:
This event is held in The Edge Foyer and Events Space which can be accessed through The Edge main building Level 0. Visit AccessAble for detailed information on The Edge Accessibility. This is an informal event with no limit on attendees, so it may be busy and noisy. Venue capacity will be managed by our Freshers Week captains. There will be seated options available. If you’re nervous about attending alone, don’t worry – our academic representatives and Freshers Week captains will be on hand to introduce you to other students. Each student will be encouraged to wear a coloured sticker to help identify others in your course more easily.
