The University's 'Welcome Week' features events and activities dedicated to helping all new students be ready to start their academic study. 'Welcome Week' is the week prior to the first week of the academic semester, and for 2019 runs from Saturday 7th till Sunday 15th ofSeptember. This is the first opportunity for the University to welcome you to your new environment and to the people who will help shape your experiences at University. We really cannot wait to meet you and introduce you to your new community! This essential time before classes start allows you to get to know your campus, meet fellow students and academics, get a sense of the University life that awaits you. There is also time for you to complete anything outstanding from your ‘Top 6 Tasks’ or do practical preparations like opening a bank account, buying essential home furnishings, clothes and equipment and generally getting to know the city of Edinburgh too.
