Welcome week 2017

Welcome week is the first week of the academic year and your essential introduction to university life - don't miss it!

As well as registering as an Essex student, we have a full programme of events and activities designed to help you get the best start possible to life at Essex.

We'll introduce you to your academic department, student life and the range of support available to you through the University and the Students' Union.

Our Welcome webpages are full of information to help you get settled into University life. If you can't find the answer there, please contact us at the Student Services Hub, your gateway to student information services at the University of Essex.

You’ll also find the latest day-to-day information on the digital screens around Campus and if you are at a loose end head to the SU Lounge, next to The Gateway Building, where you can relax, meet some new people  and find out about things to do.
