Welcome week is nearly upon us and we just wanted to let you know what the Advice and Information Team have got planned this year to help our new and returning students find their way around and settle in…

Starting September 15th, for three weeks, there are Advice and Information Points located at key points at both campuses, staffed by student ambassadors, willing to help with any queries that students may have.

There are also student ambassador ‘roamers’ who will be carrying ‘Need Help? Ask Me’ lollipop sticks! This year we have recruited 20 ambassadors who are working in shifts to roam and staff stands, cover welcome events and provide support at Advice and Information Reception and Student Financial Support Reception. Here are some of this year’s team, modelling the yellow t-shirts and lollipops!

Some of our lovely Ambassadors, waiting to help new students find their way round and settle in!

The ambassadors will support all new and returning students, not only in navigating the campuses, but also in finding their place in university life. Last year the ambassadors answered a whopping 4000 queries in total, helping to take pressure off helpdesk and faculty staff during the busiest time of the year.We encourage both students and staff members to approach our ambassadors, for any advice or information during the first few weeks of the new term!
