Your course induction and welcome

Your course induction will take place from Monday 25 September. This is your chance to meet your course leader and fellow classmates and find out more about what to expect from your studies. It’s an unmissable event (in fact it’s mandatory that you attend), because we wouldn’t want you to miss out on valuable information that can help you get off to a flying start!

Check your course information page on Track My Future to access your course handbook and materials, complete pre-arrival tasks set by your course leader and find out more about your timetable.

Welcome Week with the Student Life Team

The Student Life team delivers welcome and orientation activities, extra-curricular programmes, student campaigns, events, and support for the international student experience. Join us for a fun-filled series of events that will help you prepare for your studies, make friends, learn about UEL and London.

Sign up for Welcome Week activities.

Welcome Week with your Students' Union

Nervous about starting university? Don't be. We know that starting at university can be a little daunting. But that's what Welcome Week is for!

As automatic members of the Students' Union, all students are invited to join us to meet new people, find out about everything we and the University offer, and begin to settle into your course. We will be delivering a fun events programme to help students ease in.

We have something for everyone, whether it's films, dancing, coffee mornings, cooking classes, meditation or a good old quiz night! Students will have the chance to take part in our mini subject-led taster sessions, join a student group, say hello to the student officer team and so much more.

To view the events programme and book your ticket, visit the Students' Union website.
