Welcome Week 26/27
We are looking forward to welcoming all of our new and continuing undergraduate, postgraduate and research students to the 2026/27 academic year. There are a number of important events throughout Welcome Week, ranging from introduction sessions for your programme through to orientation for students new to London and the UK, all geared toward getting you ready for the academic year ahead.
Welcome Week will help get your bearings for the Autumn Term and beyond, providing guidance on both academic and non-academic support.
