Induction for Year One Undergraduates
The School of Psychology provides a comprehensive and exciting Induction to the school for new students. It takes place during three days of Freshers’ Week.
It involves both presentations to the entire Year and interactive group-based sessions centred around smaller groups of students.
- Day 1 kicks off with an introduction to the School from the Head of Psychology, your Year Tutor, the Director of Student Support, and other key contacts in Psychology. This is followed by an overview of arrangements for forthcoming Induction events. Next, a catered lunch at Garden Court is provided, during which students are able to meet and chat with their Personal Academic Tutor and other psychology staff members.
- On Day 2, all students take part in a range of group-based activities designed to provide a relaxed yet informative introduction to key aspects of studying psychology at Southampton.
- On Day 3, representatives from various organisations within the University present an overview of the pastoral and academic services available to all students.
The three-day Induction to the School of Psychology is designed to provide a friendly yet focused context, within which students can:
- Meet and interact with their fellow students;
- Develop relations with their Personal Academic Tutor and fellow tutor group members;
- Take the first step towards establishing their identity both as a member of the School of Psychology and as a student at the University of Southampton.
