We're currently planning our Induction Week activities from 18 September to welcome you to the University of Exeter, so the information provided here will be changing as new details are released. Please ensure you check back here frequently for updates, as well as your personal email account, new University of Exeter email account, and your My Timetable for the most up-to date information from us. Please note you must have registered with the University and activated your IT account to access My Timetable.
If you have any questions about your induction or starting your studies, please contact your Hub: Info.Amory@exeter.ac.uk or on 01392 723301
Hubs are open Monday to Friday (term time) 9.00am to 5.00pm (UK time).
Information about things you'll need to do before arriving at Exeter can be found on our New Students website.
Ahead of your arrival, please complete our online pre-arrival induction. The induction is full of important information and advice about your studies and life as a student here. It also contains activities and discussion boards so you can start to get to know other students even before you start your course.
We strongly recommend that you access this as soon as possible and make the most of this fantastic opportunity to learn more about us, your peers and your programme.
Welcome Week 2023: Monday 18 September - Sunday 24 September
During Welcome Week you should attend the Academic Induction events and activities for your subject/s, as detailed below.
The Student's Guild is also running welcome events throughout the week, including a Welcome Festival and regular guided tours of campus.
Please check your academic timetable during Welcome Week, so that you know exactly where and when you need to attend your first classes and lectures!
The purpose of Academic Induction is to introduce you to your academic programme, complete any necessary pre-registration tasks, familiarise yourself with your academic buildings, and meet fellow students and the academic staff for your subjects. These sessions form the core part of your Freshers' Week timetable and we expect all students to be present at these compulsory sessions, either in person or online as appropriate. If you need any advice about issues or clashes within your Freshers' Week timetable please contact Info.Amory@exeter.ac.uk.
