Your induction week is an important part of your introduction into the university and your Joint honours course. As a Joint honours student, you'll be studying 2 subjects, and it's important that you are involved with induction activities for both your subjects. Our subjects do have various approaches to the events they put on during induction week, so don't worry if they seem different for each of your two subjects. We try to combine practical sessions with information, advice and fun!
We always aim to keep to the schedules we publish, but sometimes things beyond our control could mean that there'll be a change (usually it's about room changes). If there are any changes we'll be publishing them here in the information for each of your subjects. Keep on checking so that you have the right information - perhaps take a final look on Sunday 10th September?
You must attend the compulsory sessions for your subjects, as these give you all the core information that you'll need to begin your study of the subject. You'll also get to meet academic staff and get to know other students studying the same subjects as you.
The optional sessions are valuable and you should try to attend as many as possible. Very occasionally, some of the optional sessions for your 2 subjects may be happening at the same time. The choice is yours which you attend if this is the case. If you miss any of the optional sessions because they're clashing with each other, don't worry, you won't be penalised for not attending if you have to make a choice.
To help you find your way around, our room numbers always start with their locations, for example, E616 is on the 6th Floor of East Tower…
If you need to travel between sites, there's a regular, free shuttle bus (the Number 4) and there are Unibuses to and from the University which will take you into the city centre, free of charge if you show your student ID card.
There'll be a Joint honours stand in the Atrium at Kedleston Road during induction week, with staff to help you find your way around and answer any queries, and our Welcome Heroes will be there to help you too ... look out for the t-shirts!
Use the drop down menus below to get your timetable of events for each of your subjects over induction week. It's easy! Choose one of your subject titles from one drop down list, then the other subject title from the other and your induction timetable for both subjects will be shown below.
