Welcome to the Faculty of Social Sciences

Welcome to the Faculty of Social Sciences and to the University.

Our welcome period is a fundamental part of your University experience offering various opportunities for you to familiarise yourself with your programme of study, your tutors and other students. Our welcome aims to support your transition into university life, whether this is your first time at University or a return to study, so please embrace and participate in the many events and activities. You can also take this time to find out more about the University, services we offer, our great facilities and the way everything works.

Professor Derek McGhee

"Your first few weeks are certain to be busy and challenging as you get used to University life but do take full advantage of the information and opportunities provided to you throughout your welcome sessions.

Within our Faculty we have a great team of academic and professional support staff that are there to guide and support you throughout induction and every stage of your learning to ensure your student experience is as rewarding as it possibly can be. 

Wishing you the very best in your studies."
