It is compulsory that you enrol online and attend both the campus and programme induction. The exact dates and times of your enrolment and inductions will be sent via email. Please also refer to our video on how to enrol or re-enrol online.
The induction will introduce you to the university, campus and your programme.
We also ask you to take some time to watch the following Learning Resources video and accompanying workbook. This will ensure you are familiar with how to access and use the learning resources available to support your studies.
What date is my enrolment and when does teaching begin?
You can find your term time and enrolment dates on our dates and fees page. Use these dates to organise your arrival, find accommodation during term time and plan holidays for the academic year.
What type of classes can I expect?
Teaching is delivered through lectures, seminars and tutorials. Lectures are formal teaching sessions, with a larger group of students. Seminars usually follow-up on topics covered in lectures and take place in smaller groups. In tutorials, a small number of students meet with a tutor to discuss points of interest or difficulty.
What do I need to do to enrol?
There are four stages to the enrolment process:
NOTE: stage 3 must be completed (visa verification) before you can gain full access to your semester timetable and collect your Smartcard.
Do I only need to enrol once?
All students are required to enrol semesterly, before the start of each academic intake. Continuing students must re-enrol at the beginning of each semester and agree to the University terms and conditions.
