Welcome Week 2026

21 September - 25 September 2026

We are looking forward to seeing you during Welcome Week 2026!

Throughout the week, we will have a Welcome and Wellbeing Area, designed to help you settle into the University of Suffolk, connect with support services, and find out more about opportunities available across the University.

Where to find us

The Welcome and Wellbeing Area will be located:

  • Waterfront Foyer: Monday 21, Thursday 24 and Friday 25 September 2026
  • Library Group Study Area (First Floor): Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 September 2026

What to expect

Throughout the week, a range of Student Support services will be available at our rotating information desk. This is a great opportunity to:

  • Meet staff from different support teams
  • Ask questions and get helpful advice
  • Learn about the services available to support you during your studies
  • Discover ways to get involved in university life and the wider student community

Whether you have a specific question or simply want to find out what's available, our staff will be happy to help.

Take some time for yourself

Alongside the information desk, there will be a dedicated Wellbeing Area where you can take a break, relax, and recharge between activities.

For students who would prefer a quieter environment, our Quiet Sensory Space (W127) will also be available on Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 September.

Everyone is welcome

The Welcome and Wellbeing Area is open to all students, whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another year of study. We encourage you to drop in, explore the support available, and make the most of the opportunities on offer as you begin the new academic year.

We look forward to welcoming you!
