Essential events

Your School induction activities are essential to attend as they are where you will receive information about your course, what to expect and the chance to connect with your new class mates.  If you are unable to attend any School induction activities, you should contact your School and they will make the resources and information available to you.

You will receive direct email communication from your School or programme confirming the details of your induction activities and how to attend in August. 

Optional (but highly recommended) events 

There are many official University events that will give you the best opportunities to get a sense of starting at the University, meet lots of fellow students and gather important information to help you make the most out of your first few weeks. More details on each of these are below. 

There is also a huge programme of social activities, mostly organised by the Edinburgh University Student's Association, Sports Union and by students themselves.
