Your student experience

Welcome! Whether you're a new or returning student, undergraduate or postgraduate, we want to welcome you personally to the University, ensuring you have the best possible experience here at °µÍø½âÃÜ. 

°µÍø½âÃÜ students study a variety of courses from fine art to physiotherapy, business to biology, and design to dentistry. Everyone has a key part to play in shaping not only the University and the student experience it offers, but also the future that experience provides each and every °µÍø½âÃÜ graduate.

 

Define your world

At °µÍø½âÃÜ, we believe in delivering the best experience in partnership with you. 
As one of our students, your views, thoughts and ideas genuinely matter. 
Our roots go back more than 150 years to the School of Navigation, but our modernity and students give us energy, direction and freedom to define our strategic priorities and values. 
Our students define the world that we will help build.

'So what's here for me?'

As you expect the best from the University, we expect the best from you, so we want to ensure you have every opportunity to stretch yourself and explore within a supportive environment. 
This section of the University website contains information on how you, as a °µÍø½âÃÜ student, can enhance your student experience through learning, sharing ideas and taking part. 

Why not start by asking a question or finding a mentor, joining an advisory panel or putting an idea into action?
