Winter Freshers week is finally here and we’re so excited to welcome you all back to campus! From our Freshers Fair to crafternoons, movie nights, a Winter Freshers Party and so much more – there are loads of exciting events on campus this week for you to check out.
The start of a new term is also a great opportunity to get involved! You can join a society, student community or volunteer with a student-led group! Or if you’re not quite ready to commit, or feeling nervous about getting involved, you can try something new this term with our Give It A Go events. If you can’t find the society or group for you, then get in touch and we’ll help you start your own!
