MA Digital Teaching and Learning course induction timetable

Your induction timetable is a programme of activities and events to introduce you to yur school and course. Some sessions are marked as compulsory to attend, as they are particularly important for your studies. However, please plan to attend all the information sessions in your timetable, as we find that students who miss these often encounter extra challenges later in their course.
