Welcome to the Faculty of Natural Sciences

Whether you’re coming from the UK or abroad or through an INTO programme, we're really looking forward to meeting you. It’s always a time of great excitement for us to be welcoming new students, whether in Autumn, Spring or Summer semester and we know that you’ll be excited about the new opportunities that university life will bring too.

We run a range of activities in your first weeks that are designed to help you to prepare and learn more about university and your course. You’ll encounter new ways of learning, meet new friends and get to know your lecturers, so please do attend these sessions as a priority – they’ll help you settle in fast and hit the ground running with your studies and your fellow students.
