Make friends, have fun, and enjoy the social side of Welcome Week.

Some of the strongest memories of university are made outside the classroom. From creative workshops and friendly competitions to themed parties, live entertainment and nights out, these events are designed to help you meet new people, try something different and experience the vibrant social side of student life at RGU.

Welcome Week is your opportunity to discover everything RGU has to offer before the academic year begins.

Taking place from 11 to 20 September, the programme includes opportunities to meet other students, explore campus, get involved in student life, access support services, attend social events and learn more about your studies.
