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.  

Induction Events and Materials

The induction events and materials will be available on the University's service called Learn the week commencing Monday 14 September 2020. 

Once on Learn, under the 'Induction' tab of the hub page, you will find information and activities for you to complete such as 

• meet and greet sessions with our teaching assistants
• induction discussion forums
• trying out your personal journal
