| | | Welcome Week (Week 0) |
Each programme has a welcome week at the beginning of the academic year. During this period there is a wide range of activities arranged to help you with the programme, your studies, your life at University, here in Manchester and in the UK. In particular, we make sure that you can access the MSc lab computers, your Computer Science email account and eLearning environments so that you can start with your studies in week 1.
In the School of Computer Science, at the beginning of the academic year, there is an introduction to the School, to university facilities, to staff and your fellow students, and also a series of introductory talks for the themes. Students are encouraged to attend these introductions in order to choose the appropriate themes, and also to learn about all the topics, including those you are probably choosing not to take.
In addition to School activities, the University and the Students' Union have a range of introductory events, including the Societies Fair, where you may choose from an enormous list of activities, from Fencing to Mountaineering, from Dance to Films, Chess to Bellringing, from Political and Religious Groups, to Charities and Hobbies.
