Welcome to Business Management at Norwich

Welcome Week starts on Monday 15 September, and this is when we will meet you on campus and introduce you to our buildings and facilities. You will meet the staff team and other students on your course and take part in some introductory activities designed so you can get to know each other and remain safe on campus. You will be invited to a session to collect your ID card, and you will also have the opportunity to watch some videos about the services and facilities the University offers. Above all, this week is about having fun and making connections so we have a full and exciting timetable of social events and activities you can sign up to in conjunction with our fantastic Students’ Union team.

Course specific information

The first taught day of your course is the Monday 22 September. Generally, you will have timetabled sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. Wednesday sessions are delivered remotely on MS teams to provide you with more flexibility. Wednesday afternoons are left free for you to engage with sporting and social clubs and activities. Fridays will usually be independent study time for you to research and develop your projects.  Individual timetables will be given at the start of the course.

On independent study days, and days where digital teaching is scheduled, you will be able to access the campus to continue your work as needed, or you can elect to work remotely.

The course team look forward to meeting you on first day!
