The academic teaching staff on the Medical Sciences programmes are really looking forward to meeting you during Welcome week. We wish you a safe journey to Exeter and hope that you settle well into your accommodation.
During Welcome Week you will have many opportunities to meet your fellow students and some of the teaching staff on your programmes too. As well as the fun stuff offered by the Students' Guild (such as taster sessions for various societies and sports clubs for example) you will also be attending timetabled welcome/induction sessions for your degree programmes, which will inform you about what to expect as a student here at Exeter.
A schedule for the Welcome Week activities planned for the BSc. Sport and Exercise Medical Sciences programmes will be available shortly. Once you have access to the University's teaching timetable through the iExeter student app, you can find out when and where you need to be during Welcome Week.
Details on all of the Welcome Week sessions and other important resources for new students will also be available on our Welcome Week ELE page.
We will be updating this page regularly as new details of induction and welcome activities are released. Please ensure you check back here frequently for updates.
If you have any questions about your induction or starting your studies, then the Info points are the place to go for any questions you may have about your life as an Exeter student. Ours is Info at St Luke's; you can contact them on Tel: +44 (0)1392 724837 or Email: info.stlukes@exeter.ac.uk
We look forward to welcoming you!
