Welcome to the School of Computing.
Overview
Our induction period starts on Monday 19th September 2022.
This 1-week induction period will enable you, as an undergraduate, MSc or PhD student, to get to know the University, the school, and your programme of study. When you have fully registered, you’ll be able to access our online teaching and learning platform, Canvas, where some of your induction programme will be delivered. The online learning materials will be available on or before the 12th of September.

The induction online learning materials will cover topics such as:

To supplement the Canvas online learning materials there will be synchronous induction events. A timetable will be available on or before the 12th of September.
It is vital that you engage with and attend both the online and in person activities, to ensure that you have all the information you need to have a successful and enjoyable time while studying this year.
Teaching will begin on Monday 26th September but if you have any questions before then please contact us (computing.teaching@ncl.ac.uk).
