WELCOME TO WINCHESTER! The University of Winchester and Winchester Student Union have created this Welcome Guide to help you make the most of your first week with us and help you kick start your University career. WHAT IS WELCOME WEEK? Over 2,000 new students will be joining us for Week 0 (Monday 11 to Friday 15 September) before Semester 1 officially starts on Monday 18 September 2023. Some students will be moving into our University Managed Housing on Arrivals Weekend (Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September 2023), whereas others will join us later in the week, but all students will be invited to complete their in-person checks for enrolment and to collect their ID cards and welcome pack. During this week students are also expected to attend their Faculty or Programme Induction Sessions, where they can meet their academic team and course mates. Please check your emails for a link to your Enrolment and Welcome Week Schedule.
