Prepare for the 2024/25 academic year: Useful links and information 

With Welcome Weekend and Freshers’ starting on Saturday 21 September, here are some further tips and resources to help you get ready. You can read more about enrolling, essential tasks, and other helpful tips in the Prepare for the 2024/25 academic year: Getting started piece on SUSSED

 
Academic support  

We have plenty of resources to help you manage your transition to University learning, freshen up your skills, or learn new ones depending on where you are in your student journey. 

Visit the academic support article on our Knowledge Base to find out more about available support, including writing and research guides, as well as free LinkedIn Learning courses. 

Using MyEngagement 

MyEngagement is the academic monitoring tool you are expected to use to capture your attendance at online and in-person timetabled sessions once semester one starts. This is to enable the University to work with students who have attendance requirements or may require further support. Please familiarise yourself with this tool, or refresh your memory on how to use it, via the linked Knowledge Base article.

Managing your finances 

  • If you are expecting a tuition fee loan or a maintenance loan through Student Finance (UK), make sure you check if your funding has been confirmed for the 2024/25 academic year. You can contact The Student Hub if you have any concerns, delays, or unexpected changes in your situation.  

Get on with your future  

Our Careers, Employability, and Student Enterprise service can support you regardless of the career planning stage you are in. Whether you would like to get a part-time job, gain work experience, brush up on your interview skills, start your own business, or are considering further study, you can get one-to-one guidance, information, and resources tailored to you and your individual journey.
