WELCOME TO WINCHESTER!
MAP
The University of Winchester and Winchester Students’ Union have created this Welcome Guide to help you make the most of your first week with us and to help you kick start your University journey. WHAT IS WELCOME WEEK? Over 1,500 new students will be joining us for Week 0 (Monday 16 to Friday 20 September) before Semester 1 officially starts on Monday 23 September 2024. Some students will be moving into our University Managed Housing over Arrivals Weekend (Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 September), whereas others will join us later in the week. During this time, all students will be invited to complete their in-person checks for enrolment and to collect their University card, which is needed to access the library and other specialist spaces on campus, as well for printing and photocopying. Students are also expected to attend their Faculty Welcome and Uni Essentials talk and Programme Induction sessions during Welcome Week. These sessions provide key information about university life and study and are an opportunity for students to meet their academic team and course mates. Please check My Record for details of your enrolment and Welcome Week schedule.
