Welcome and Induction Week is just the start of getting you settled into Kingston University. When you join us there will be activities to help you settle into life as a Kingston student, meet new friends and get ready for your studies. The majority of these will be online and many will be made on-demand so you are able to do them at your own pace.
During Welcome and Induction you'll be introduced to your course and Faculty, some of the support services available to you and we'll provide you with the practical information you need to know before you begin your studies.
For most students, Welcome and Induction will take place between Monday 1 and Friday 5 March 2021*. However, our series of welcome events will run until the end of March.
