It is with great pleasure that I welcome each one of you to the next exciting phase of your life. Our focus, as a school and as a department, is to inspire you as independent learners, leaders and/or professionals, to support you in reaching your full potential and to celebrate your success as individuals and not just as learners.

Please take advantage of the induction week to get to know your support eco-system for the next 3 years – your department, your teaching and administration team, your peers and the various BCU student-support centres. Once again, I am extremely happy to welcome you to Birmingham City University and look forward to personally meeting each one of you. |

I am delighted to welcome you to the Psychology Department. We are looking forward to welcoming you and helping you to settle into the department, your course and your new environment. Your course is located in the Faculty of Business, Law and Social Sciences. Everyone is always a bit nervous about starting university - this is a good sign and it means you’re keen to do well and make the most of this exciting opportunity. Please make sure you fully participate in online induction; it will really help you to get to know your course colleagues before you arrive on campus. We’re all very friendly and you’ll soon settle in very quickly. Remember, everyone is in the same boat and there are lots of people available to support you! Your Personal Tutor is a key person to get to know in the first few weeks, as they can help with any queries, worries or concerns. Their role is to offer academic advice and guidance throughout your time at university, so you will want to get to know them quickly. In addition, we have a fantastic team of Psychology Student Mentors, who will be able to guide you during induction and offer advice on the wider university experience. Finally, I’d like to wish you the best of luck for the start of your course. You are now a part of the Psychology Department and academic community and we look forward to working in partnership with you to help you succeed. |
| What should I bring on my first day? |
|
During the first week, you will be attending lectures, workshops and completing a Psychology Induction week task. To make notes, make sure you have a notepad, pen, pencil, etc. You can bring a laptop, but remember you will be carrying it all day. The university has computers and loan laptops for you to use when you are enrolled. During induction week you will be making a poster, so if you have craft materials, it would be good to have them accessible during induction week; you will not need them on the first day. |

To do this we’ve planned a ‘find out about student support services at BCU’ and ‘get out and explore Birmingham/think sociologically about aspects of the city’ project for all to take part in.

A prize is awarded for well-prepared and thoughtful presentations. Together with our first year Criminology students, we finish the week with a Departmental quiz. Of course, we will endeavour to address any questions which arise for you during your first week at the University. We wish you every success in your studies with us. |
