Current Students

Here you will find information for new and current students.

This page contains key information for our current students. If you are a new student joining us in September, you can also find information on School Induction in the section below.

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 The Big Welcome 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.

Recommended Reading

You’re not required to read anything before you arrive, but if you’d like to do some reading, we have a Recommended reading list (PDF 160KB). 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 Staff Committee

The Student Staff 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 Staff Committees are passed to the Board of Studies for more formal discussion. 

The 2026-27 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.
