It’s the best and most exciting time of the year for us at GoGlobal, we get to welcome all of our brilliant new students from across the world!

As we head into induction week this September, we’d like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new students, and greet those returning to study with us.

We look forward to helping to support you in your studies and can’t wait to hear about your achievements this coming academic year.

We will be sending you a monthly newsletter updating you on student stories, Sheffield Hallam news and study support resources so keep a look out! We also have our Orientation and Events calendar available online, and the Meet and Greet desk on level 5, Owen building is open until 22 September if you have any questions.

From all of us in the GoGlobal team, good luck for the year ahead.
