We'll be hosting Welcome Villages across our campuses all week, to give everyone the chance to socialise and meet fellow students.

The Welcome Villages will host a range of fun, informative and social activities throughout your first week, including events in the evenings and at the weekend. There will be a Welcome Village on University Park, Sutton Bonington and Jubilee Campuses.

We're busy firming up our schedule, but bookmark this page to stay up to date on the full calendar of exciting Welcome Week events.
