Induction Week: 19 - 23 January 2026
Induction Week is the perfect time to explore campus, meet new people, and get to know our community.
In-person enrolment will happen and course introductions will be happening during this week. The day you'll need to be in for induction depends on which campus your degree is taught at:
- Canterbury: Wednesday 21 January, 9am - 4.15pm
- Epsom: Tuesday 20 January, 9am - 4.15pm
- Farnham: Monday 19 January, 9am - 4.15pm
Once you’ve fully enrolled, you will be able to view your induction timetable and the general timetable for your course via myUCA.
You’ll get your personalised course timetable (showing only the sessions for the teaching groups you've been assigned to) during Induction Week, which will tell you when and where you need to be when teaching begins.
Please complete the Safer Universities e-learning module as part on your online induction by 13 February.
