Welcome: 21 Sept - 6 Oct 2024

Daytime Events

We have a huge variety of daytime events for you to enjoy this Welcome Week which will be a particularly great option for commuters and part-time students travelling in for the day.

Fairs At Welcome

Our Welcome and Societies Fairs are spread across multiple days, so we'd encourage you to come along to each day for the chance to meet different brands and get to know the different student groups in attendance.

Welcome Fair

Monday 23 - Tuesday 24 September

Last year over 8000 students came along to Welcome Fair, so make sure you join us this year at the Guild for the chance to meet fantastic, popular brands, enjoy lots of discounts and student offers, AND get some free gifts!

MedSoc & Societies Fairs

Tuesday 24 - Friday 27 September

Joining a Society is one of the best parts of student life, so you must visit our Societies Fairs to meet various student groups, from performance to cultural groups, and see which ones you'd like to join.
