Welcome Hub
To help you get settled we provide support across all three campuses to make sure you have a good start to your university journey.
Support for enrolment is accessible on all campuses and online during the months of September and early October. Our team is ready to assist you with the enrolment process, ensuring a smooth start to your academic journey.
You don’t need an appointment to collect your ID card or speak to an adviser about enrolment issues. However, the 'right to study' checks are by appointment only.
In the Welcome hub you will be able to:
- resolve enrolment issues
- chat to student ambassadors and learn about student life
- international students will also be able to attend in-person 'right to study' check appointments at Frenchay Campus Welcome hub.
