Student Induction. At present the university places much emphasis on providing transition and induction support for new undergraduate students. Our „Welcome Week’ programme provides over 350 opportunities for students to meet new people, try out new experiences and start to build up a social support network. Some targeted events and activities are provided specifically for non-traditional groups, such as local students, mature entrants, disabled students and students leaving local authority care. In 2011-12, the university is piloting extension of the induction information available to these students before they arrive and in 2012-13, will pilot and monitor strategies for extending induction arrangements well into the first year, beyond Welcome Week.
Student Induction. The BSO recognises that the first few weeks of study are one of the highest risk points for students deciding to leave for a number of reasons. At the BSO we firmly believe that the best start to the academic cycle across all year groups is equally important and that our students are more likely to succeed given an induction session for each cohort at the start of every new start to the year. The Student Induction developed in partnership with the BSO Students’ Union, provides a series of events both academic and recreational to enable them to participate fully in the student experience at the BSO. The events focus on student and staff integration across all year groups to ensure that, due to the small specialised nature of the courses, all are included.
