Teaching for our programmes in the first term of the 2021-22 academic year will be a blend of online and campus-based activity. Induction for new students follows the same pattern and consists of three parts: the Get Started at St. George’s 2021 online induction module, live online events and on-site induction.
On-site induction induction
View all Close all
Incoming students will be invited on to campus to collect their student ID card, have an introduction to your course and the university, and to meet with Occupational Health if needed. Students should expect to be on campus for at least a couple of days in their first week. Freshers activities will be happening at the same time (restrictions permitting) so you may wish to be on campus more often than that.
Start dates for onsite induction are as follows:
- MPAS Physician Associate: Tuesday 31 August
- MBBS Medicine (graduate entry): Tuesday 31 August
- MSc Physiotherapy: Tuesday 31 August
- BSc Paramedic Science (including in-service students): Tuesday 31 August
