Your new student life
Programme induction sessions
Your programme induction is the core of your Welcome Week experience. Learn about what you will be studying, how your department works and what to expect from your first year at your School inductions. Your academic timetable will be available on the MyUoB app. You will log in to the MyUoB app using the login details you received for Online Registration. If you are a postgraduate research student or starting at other times of the year, your School will be in touch directly about induction and orientation sessions.
Plan your Welcome experience
Our Welcome activities are designed to help you settle in and feel at home, no matter how far you've travelled. Discover what's on offer and start planning your own Welcome schedule.
You won't be able to attend everything, so think about what's important to you! Remember to prioritise attending your programme induction sessions and plan a visit to the Welcome Registration Hub if you haven't received your ID card, or need to attend a Right to Study check (for international students).
