It’s your introduction to University life featuring a jam-packed calendar of tours, events, sessions, and of course – Freshers Fair. Think of it as our welcome package to help you meet new people, learn more about your new home, and introduce you to all the amazing things on offer at Bucks Students’ Union.

Welcome Week is part of the first week of Freshers’ Fortnight and is organised by the University. Make sure you check out their website to find out what session the University will be hosting.

Yes! Everything we do is inclusive for all students who are enrolled in a BNU course. This includes part-time, mature, international, post-graduate, and partner college students.

During freshers, there will be plenty of people around to help. Look out for our friendly freshers helpers who will be dressed in bright orange (you really can't miss them). They will be available to help you move into your new home, show you around and answer any questions, no matter how small. Have a specific question? Contact us at union@bucks.ac.uk.
