The seminar series is a programme of 8 one-hour sessions on Wednesday mornings over the academic year. The series offers opportunities for interaction between students and members of staff in a relaxed, non-teaching setting. Lecturers, class teachers and other departmental staff will regularly attend and actively participate in the seminars.
The aims of the seminar series are to:
- Provide academic, professional and personal development training to first-year students
- Orient first-year students about additional development opportunities offered by the School
- Address the challenges that first-year students commonly face in their transition from school to university and during their undergraduate studies
- Contribute to fostering a sense of cohesion and belonging among students, and to building relationships between students and member of the Department
First year students can find out more about the series on the dedicated Moodle site.
