Step 1: Book in for your Program Welcome session
At your Program Welcome session you will meet your teaching staff and other students, learn all about your program, get the lowdown on what to expect and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Select your program from the drop-down list for your session date, time and location. Once you've found your session, check out the full Orientation program for other activities and sessions to attend. If you are studying a double-degree, we recommend attending both Program Welcome sessions if possible.
