School Inductions
The first week of a new academic year is dedicated to a programme of induction and orientation activities and it is a chance for you to complete registration and settle in before teaching begins.
There are optional social activities like Fresher’s Week and compulsory activities like registration and school inductions. All you need to know before starting the new academic year can be found on the Student Welcome page.
It is important that you complete your registration as soon as you arrive on campus and accept all Canvas invitations sent to your new ncl.ac.uk email address.
2025/26 Induction
We’re thrilled to have you join us for the 2025–26 academic year. As you prepare to begin this exciting new chapter, our dedicated teams are working behind the scenes to create a vibrant and informative induction programme designed to help you settle in, connect with your peers, and feel right at home.
Your full induction schedule will be available from 1st September.
In the meantime, we encourage you to explore our Student Welcome Pages and Pre-Arrival Course—a specially designed online guide that covers everything you need to know about joining the University, from academic essentials to student life and support services.

Recommended Reading
You’re not required to read anything before you arrive but if you’d like to do some reading, we recommend these texts (PDF 128 KB). You should be able to pick them up cheaply second-hand or as e-books, but please don’t feel the need to buy them. All of the required reading will be available in the University Library, either electronically or in hard copy.
Student Voice Committee
The Student Voice Committee (undergraduate and postgraduate) is made up of both staff and student representatives. Its aim is to improve communication between the two and discuss matters of mutual concern.
Any issues raised by the Student Voice Committees are passed to the Board of Studies for more formal discussion.
The 2024-25 degree and stage representatives have not yet been appointed. Contact details about the incoming student representative will be on the Student Portal and on the notice boards in the Student Lounge and on Floor 1 of the Armstrong Building by October.
