Starting a new degree is likely to be a significant change in lifestyle for most of our new student members, even if you’ve studied at degree level before. Give yourself time to settle in, meet new people and find your way around. It may feel overwhelming at first but it gets easier over time. Welcome is very different from the rest of the autumn term and you may not build routines until your teaching has begun, so don’t expect too much of yourself at first. One of the best things you can do during Welcome is take time to find out where the rooms are that you’ll have to go to for teaching, which will help you arrive in good time. Finding your way around
Getting Started
As with any new environment you may find the town centre layout of our Southend Campus confusing for the first few weeks but don’t worry! There is a map on page 27 to help you find useful facilities in the local area quickly. Note that inside University buildings, room numbers beginning with GB are in The Gateway Building, and room numbers beginning with TF are in The Forum. The first number denotes the floor – so TF.2.15 is located on the second floor of The Forum (room 15). Don’t miss our Befriend Southend Team Challenge on Wednesday 1 October which also acts as a fun orientation exercise!
Looking after yourself
Academic Welcome programme
Our Southend Campus is generally a safe environment but it’s important to use common sense to help you stay safe as you settle into student life. Make sure you keep your valuables close when you’re travelling, and once you move into your accommodation don’t forget to lock your bedroom door and, if you’re in a ground floor room, close your window when you’re not in your room, even if you’ve only gone to the kitchen. If you’ve brought cash with you, make sure you open a bank account and deposit your money as soon as possible. Details on how to open an account are at: www.essex.ac.uk/students. Further information about staying safe and staying well throughout your time at Essex are in Your Campus Guide.
Each department has its own Welcome programme which you should follow carefully. The programmes identify events which are compulsory and those which are optional. As well as providing useful information about the University’s facilities and how to use them, these events will give you the opportunity to meet staff and network with fellow students before you begin your course, as well as introduce you to life at our University and help you settle into your studies. Please visit: www.essex. ac.uk/welcome and follow the links for Southend Campus. This will contain any updates or alterations to events so you should check back from time to time. If you have any questions please email: stuadmin@ essex.ac.uk.
Information for students aged under 18 at the start of your course If you’re under 18, you must arrive on time and attend all your Welcome events. There will be opportunities for you to ask any questions you have, and to meet relevant staff in your department. You’ll be given important information about your time at Essex. If you’re unsure about which events to go to please email: ssos@essex.ac.uk.

an eye on deadlines full advantage of the expertise of your tutors
n Immerse
yourself in a hobby or socialise to switch off
out into Southend as much as you can and have a good look around. You’ll need to know it for the course as well as to have a good time.
n You
may be surprised when you realise how friendly all the tutors are and they know so much about social work. If you ever feel like you might have made the wrong choice, talk to them – they’ll be able to help a lot.
n Get
into the habit of reading right from the start…newspapers, blogs, novels, everything - not just text books or the stuff we have to read! It makes it much easier to do the written work and have things to talk about in class.
n In
placements you’ll meet loads of new people and do things like make appointments to visit service users…it might be a bit difficult to start with and you might mess up a couple of times. Eventually it will get a lot better…you’ll wish you asked for a bit of help sooner!

Essex Business School A student’s view Advice from our current students:
Get involved! It is very important when you go for a job that you can present yourself as a well-rounded person. You can’t achieve that without stepping out of your comfort zone of academic study.
n Make
use of what’s available, like ‘Languages for All’. Look for opportunities.
n Check
your emails regularly!
n Have
a plan – try to think what you want to get out of University. Set yourself goals which will assist you in your future career.
n After
a lecture or seminar, it’s a good idea to go over the material straight away while it’s still fresh in your mind. This helps a lot when the time comes to revise.
n Do
some career research and look into modules that are available for your course. For example, if you want to go into HR, there are some modules that have HR elements.
Living at University Square was a good experience. My housemates and I have become close friends.
