We'll be in touch with you between now and your start date to make sure you receive all the updates you need, so please keep an eye on your inbox.

Meet your new classmates

Our Campus Connect platform is a forum like Reddit but exclusively for those who have applied to us and a great way to start new friendships ahead of September.

There's a group for each course, plus lots of sub-groups for interests such as music, neurodiversity, socialising and more. It’s your space to stay in touch, share your interests and ask our friendly staff and current students questions all the way through to Arrivals and Welcome Week. It's free to use and takes just a few minutes to register.
