Each induction session will include information about:

- Transport, Mail & Telephones
- Personal & Road Safety
- Shopping
- Opening a Bank Account
- Police Registration

A useful information pack will also be made available to all those attending.
Students who have attended a pre-sessional English language programme are asked NOT to attend these induction presentations. This is because the pre-sessional English language programme has already included your international induction information. Furthermore, health and safety restrictions to the numbers of students allowed in this venue means that there is only sufficient space for those who have not already attended a pre-sessional programme.
Postgraduate Research students will be invited to a separate induction programme offered by staff development.
