On the week of the 16th September, we welcomed approximately 415 undergraduates and 160 postgraduate students into the School of Engineering and Materials Science.

A busy week of welcome activities included informative events such as programme talks, student support sessions and the opportunity to talk to professional bodies, as well as social activities like a Treasure Hunt around the school on campus and Welcome Fair.

The Undergraduate Year One Careers Session was very well with far more students than expected attending.

Also in Welcome Week, new third year students had sessions to help them navigate their upcoming Design Project.

External professional bodies came onto campus to give talks and meet students, and many also had stalls at the Opportunities Fair.

Following feedback from last year's Welcome Week, we introduced new core sessions for returning second and third year students such as Programme Talks and Meet your Advisor.
