Enhanced Programme

Ready to start the new semester strong? The Enhanced Programme will set you up for success.

The Enhanced Programme is for all students, new and returning, and runs from Monday 29 September to Friday 10 October.

During the 2 week period, you will be timetabled to attend a series of tailored masterclasses. These masterclasses are mandatory and will give you the tools and confidence to navigate your studies.

During the Enhanced Programme you will be timetabled to attend campus one day per week. Therefore, it is important to check your individual timetable to see what masterclasses you have been allocated to and which room you need to go to.

Alongside the masterclasses, you will be timetabled to attend 1 focus session with the Student Opportunities team. This session will be held in one of the computer rooms where the Student Opportunities team will guide you through important topics such as tailoring your CV to the UK job market and how to successfully write cover letters. This session will be highly interactive with each student allocated a desktop to engage with the activities.

Please make sure to go to the room you have been allocated to so your attendance can be accurately recorded.
