UR Head Start on Campus – University of Roehampton
About this Event
UR Year Head Start on Campus at the University of Roehampton is a pre-arrival transition event for new undergraduate students. Meet staff, explore campus, complete enrolment, and prepare for university life through academic sessions, support workshops, and networking opportunities.
Starting university is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel like a big step. Our New UR Head Start on Campus event is designed exclusively for new Unconditional Firm undergraduate students, helping you transition smoothly into university life, build confidence, and get ahead before teaching begins.
