We can’t wait to welcome our new postgraduate students to the University this January.
Hopefully by now you will be set up and ready to start your studies and life here in Liverpool.
But in case not, you can check back at what you need to do on our Welcome: Getting Ready webpage. If you are an international student, you will need to complete your international registration on campus. You will have been sent a separate email about booking an in-person appointment to do this, so please check your mailbox if you haven’t got an appointment lined up.
To help make sure you don’t miss out on what we’ve got coming up for you, we’ve pulled together a summary of what you need to know about your Liverpool Welcome.

Welcome kicks into gear on Friday, 31 January with the Guild’s Refreshers Fair, in Mountford Hall from 9am to 4pm.
