Welcome from the Biosciences Programme Director
I would like to wish you all a very warm welcome to Swansea and the Biosciences Department. We are looking forward to getting to know you all over the next few years, and I hope you are excited to be here and starting the next important stage of your lives.
There will be lots going on around the department and university during your Induction Week, but your induction talks are one of the most important sources of information relating to your course, so don’t miss these. During the talks you will also be able to meet some of your lecturers and other key staff members, but most importantly you’ll meet each other. We have arranged lunch and activities as extra opportunities for you to get settled and get to know each other a little more. In between all this, don’t forget to join some societies – Swansea has a lot to offer for every interest you care to name!
We know university learning can be challenging, so we will be signposting key places for support throughout Induction Week, but remember that we are here to help any time. The Reception team, your academic tutor, your lecturers, or our Mental Health First Aiders can always be approached to provide you with support and guidance.
I look forward to meeting you in in your induction talks, and wish you the very best for your time in Swansea.
Dr Ed Pope, Biosciences Programme Director
