Welcome Week
18 – 24 September 2023
You will receive lots of information about Welcome Week in the Summer pre-arrival emails. Make sure you read these carefully to help you plan your week. Double check your spam email folder to ensure they haven’t gone there.
Welcome Week is a great opportunity for all new students to orientate themselves to the University of Exeter way of life. The week is packed with academic induction and social activities for all students to join. These may be a mix of in person events and online depending on any restrictions in place. The International Welcome Programme sessions are specifically for international students and provide practical information and help to start your life at the University of Exeter and settle you into your new home as well as social opportunities. You will be able to see your Academic Induction meetings in your online timetable via iExeter prior to your arrival in the UK so do remember to download iExeter to your smartphone.
When you arrive on campus and have completed International Student Clearance you will be able to collect your BRP and Unicard.
