Before you arrive
If you’re wanting to plan ahead, you might want to familiarise yourself with these useful online resources:
- Take a look at our welcome pages for new postgraduates

Depending on when you arrive, our on-campus outlets may be closed, and if you are moving into catered accommodation, please be aware your meals will only be available on weekdays during the semester.
