Preparing to study At Birmingham, we are committed to enabling you to benefit from a culture of learning and research, which is based upon critical enquiry, debate and self-motivation.

We aim to facilitate your transition into our enquiry-based learning (EBL) culture. This means that you will experience a range of teaching methods and research strategies that aim to challenge and encourage you to be an active learner who can develop their own ideas through reading and independent research, discussion and collaboration, reflection and analysis.

Self-motivation, setting yourself realistic goals, managing your time effectively, and reflecting on what and how you learn are all qualities and skills that will help you be a more successful learner. These independent and transferable learning skills are also highly valued in today’s competitive and fast changing job market.

Your School/Department will explain in more detail how enquiry-based learning works in the discipline you have chosen to study. Find out more about the skills you need to study at university: www.skills4uni.bham.ac.uk. Also, take a look at the Guide to Effective Learning (GEL) website: www.gel.bham.ac.uk

School/Department WelcomeThis is your warm welcome to our academic community. You will learn more about your programme of study, and it is an opportunity to meet your lecturers and fellow students – so don’t miss it. Check the Welcome website for further details and make a note of all relevant events in your diary. If you have any queries about these activities please contact your School/Department directly.

Skills developmentWe encourage you to start planning at an early stage for your long-term goals. Log on to www.my.bham.ac.uk (you will need to register online first – see previous page for more details) and click on the myProgress tab to access >>Progress>>; a tool which will enable you to evaluate the skills you have now. There are many ways to develop the skills that employers value through a variety of activities offered by the University, including; taking the PSA (Personal Skills Award), volunteering, and participating in academic societies, Guild societies and sports clubs. You can also visit the GEL website www.gel.bham.ac.uk

Postgraduate Researchers (all those students registered on a research degree) follow a different skills training process that has been devised to relate to their specific skills training needs and they will work with their supervisor on the Training Needs Analysis. Information on this process can be found via the Welcome website.

From Monday 17 September to Friday 21 September between 9.00am and 4.30pm you can drop in to 3 Elms Road (Map ref: G4) to meet with a member of the Counselling and Guidance team.

University of Birmingham Sport (UBSport)Sport takes centre stage at Birmingham. You will never have a better opportunity to tap into this sporting pedigree, whether you are an elite athlete training or just have an interest in playing sport to keep fit or have fun. The people you meet and the friendships you make through sport are often the most rewarding and enduring.

Welcome Week – 17 September to 21 September 2012



At Birmingham, over 2,000 students represent the University in regional, national and inter-varsity competitions, while many hundreds of students take part in Intra-League sports or Active Lifestyle classes. When you’re part of University Sport you are part of the biggest club on campus. Learn more at www.sport.bham.ac.uk and visit the Sports Fair on 19 September.

Guild of StudentsRepresenting over 28,000 students, the Guild of Students is the University of Birmingham’s recognised students’ union. Run by students for students, the Guild campaigns to enhance your experience of student life. The Guild represents students and brings them together on issues they care about to create positive change and achieve equality for and within its membership. Every student at the University of Birmingham is automatically a member of the Guild, which is a great way to meet new people and build up networks of contacts and support.

Clubs and Societies Benefiting from student life involves more than simply studying. Most students learn almost as much from the social and extra-curricular side of University life as they do through their course. During Welcome Week the Guild of Students hosts a variety of events. Most clubs and societies will offer taster sessions, so look around and see what appeals to you. Joining a sports club or trying out for a team is a great way of meeting new

people. There is a wide range of societies including LGBTQ, Student Parents, PG and Mature Students, Local Students and International Students. Visit Guild-run fairs during Welcome Week to find out more. For more information about the Guild of Students and its constitution visit: www.guildofstudents.com

Student RepsYou might consider becoming a Student Rep for a chance to represent the other students on your course and have an impact on your collective learning experiences. Your School will be recruiting Student Reps within the first few weeks of term, so, if you’re interested, ask to speak to your School’s Staff Liaison Contact (SLC), or contact the Guild ([email protected]) for more information. Alternatively, make sure you get involved in electing your Student Rep, and keep in touch with him/her in order to provide feedback about your learning experience.



Personal Tutor SystemDuring your Induction your School/Department will assign you to a Personal Tutor who will be an academic experienced in your subject area and available to see you during their weekly office hours and by appointment. Make sure you make a note of the name and contact details of your personal Tutor as well as their office hours in this diary.

We expect you to have at least three meetings per year with your Personal Tutor who will help you review your progress and provide you with academic advice and guidance. It is important that you let your Personal Tutor know of anything that could be affecting your studies. This may include accommodation, finance, study skills and any problems you may be experiencing as you adjust to University life and independent learning.

Your Personal Tutor is here to help you plan your study and deal with unexpected problems and is supported by a Welfare Tutor within your School/Department, as well as a range of professional staff in Student Support Services, our Academic Skills Centre, Careers and Employability Centre, and the Guild of Students. Your Personal Tutor can advise you how to contact these services. Your Personal Tutor can help you understand, for example, what to do if you need an extension for an essay, how to make use of your feedback on your academic work, and how to make use of >>Progress>> – our professional planning development tool designed for our students.

Transition Review: Weeks 4 and 5, Semester Two: 28 January – 8 FebruaryHalf way through your first year you will meet with your Personal Tutor for Transition Review. This is an extended Tutorial to evaluate your progress. You will discuss your feedback and receive guidance on how to further develop your academic skills. Across campus there will also be a range of re-induction activities organised by Student Services, the Guild and the Sports Centre to help you get more involved and meet more new people. You will also have another opportunity to go on a Library tour in case you are still unable to find your way around. There will be fairs organised where you can learn about modules available outside your main discipline (MOMDs) in all our Schools/Departments that you may be able to take in your second year. The Careers and Employability Centre will also be organising events to help you begin to think about your career.

FeedbackThroughout your studies you will receive regular oral and written feedback on your academic work from your Tutors and from your peers. It is vital to use your feedback as it will help you understand what you are good at and what areas you need to improve. Feedback will enable you assess your own learning, allow you to understand what is expected of you, and help you improve your academic skills and understanding. If you don’t understand your feedback ask your Tutors and fellow students for help.

Ten ways to manage your finances

For more budgeting advice visit: www.as.bham.ac.uk/budget and follow the Student Funding Office on Twitter: @UBsavvysquirrel

If you find you have a deficit or are experiencing financial hardship then home undergraduate students who have taken up all statutory support available can apply for assistance from the Access to Learning Fund (ALF). Learn more www.as.bham.ac.uk/alf

1. Check that you are receiving all the grants, bursaries and tax credits that you are entitled to

2. Put money aside for bills and pay them on time

3. Don’t go over your overdraft limit as you will be charged

4. Avoid impulse purchases and using expensive credit/store cards (unless you can afford to pay them off in full each month)

5. Take advantage of student discounts, online vouchers and special student offers

6. Shop around for the best deals on services, eg, mobile phone contracts 7. Prepare a shopping list and stick to it!

8. Get a part-time job: the Job Zone in the Guild can help you to find work that exactly fits in with your studies

9. Make your own sandwiches and cut out the takeaways and ready meals... you’ll save a fortune!

10. Communicate with family, friends, relatives and most importantly with your bank


Lectures, tutorials, essays, research, revision, part-time job, committee meetings, club nights, parties, matches, gigs, laundry, shopping, family, Facebook... students are busy people. It’s important to get a good balance between academic work and other activities. Getting a grip on time management is essential for success at University. Here are some tips to help you get started:

n Understand yourself: are you a morning person or night owl? Independent study is a big part of what you’ll do here and it’s up to you when to do it; knowing what time of day or night you learn best can help you structure your research, reading and revision. For more information on study skills visit: www.gel.bham.ac.uk

n Focus on your goals: what do you want to achieve this year? Get good results, join a student group and do some work experience? There is so much going on at University, it’s easy to get distracted – be clear about what you want to do and what’s going to help you get there.

n Write things down in one place... like this diary! Academic tutors, student support and admin services will fill your inbox with notices about events, deadlines, things you need to action, and you will also want to blank out time for social events and some relaxing ‘downtime’! It’s easy to lose track of what you need to do, so keep on top by having everything in one place.

n Don’t miss out: there are so many opportunities available at University, from great student groups and work placements to funding opportunities. Check your emails regularly and sign up for newsletters and e-alerts.

n Plan and prioritise: deadlines for handing in essays and other things like applications for work experience placements and part-time jobs tend to come at once; create your own deadlines and enter these into your diary.

n Be realistic about time: an afternoon to research and write a 2500 word essay? 30 minutes to write an effective application for a job? 15 minutes to do your washing when there’s a queue? Allocate enough time for your tasks to do them well and build in time for the unexpected (eg, printer cartridges running out or the book you need not being available).

n Treat university like a full-time job: structure each day with tasks and put these into your diary alongside all the ‘usual’ activities (essay deadlines, seminars, meetings). Use the timetable at the front of your diary for your weekly commitments. Tasks could include checking your student email account, research in the library, reading around your subject, writing up notes, etc...

n Reward your efforts: if you’ve been working at your PC for an hour, make a cup of tea and give yourself a 10 minute break. Scheduling in breaks from your work is important, especially during times like the exam/revision period.
