Matriculation
Matriculation is the process by which you are formally admitted to the University. There are two stages to this process:
1. Register
In most cases, you will be able to do this before you start at the University.
2. Confirm your attendance and sign up for courses
You must arrange a Skype meeting with your Programme Director to take place during Welcome Week (14-18 September 2020) to have a chat about the year ahead and decide on course enrolments.
