Welcome Week

Welcome Week is 14 - 18 September 2026.

Welcome Week is the week before the academic term begins. Getting involved in Welcome Week events and activities is a great way to meet new people and have fun. During the week, there is also lots of support available to help you settle into student life in Aberdeen.

Once you have registered as a student, you will have access to the 'Getting started at the University of Aberdeen' course. The course is mandatory for new undergraduate and postgraduate taught students.
