Come and find out more about your course, meet key members of staff like your personal tutor, and meet the people you’re going to be studying with.
Your Welcome week will be a great opportunity to meet some key members of staff such as your personal tutor/academic coach and give you the chance to speak with some of your fellow students who will be studying on your course with you. We expect you to attend as you will receive important information to help you start your University experience.
You will also have the chance to hear about our Essex Law Clinic and Human Rights Centre Clinic (where current students work on real cases and provide advice to members of the public), meet current Second and Third year students and get advice about what studying Law is like, and how to use your time at Essex to your advantage to get the best degree and experience possible.
