Undergraduate Health Promotion and Public Health induction timetable
Thank you for choosing to study at the University of Nottingham and congratulations on working hard to get your place on the programme.
My name is Katharine Whittingham, and I am the Programme Lead for the BSc Health Promotion and Public Health degree. My role is to ensure you make the most of every opportunity the University of Nottingham offers while you are student and to ensure the programme team supports you throughout your studies. I hope to get to know you all over the course of your studies.
As you start the programme, please ensure you read all the information we provide as this provides helpful signposts to the wide range of services the School of Health Sciences and the University offers.
During your 3-year programme the programme team will support you so please do come and talk to us if you have any concerns, however small. You'll be allocated a personal tutor for the duration of the programme who will be responsible for your pastoral care, but any team member would be happy to talk to you.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your during your undergraduate studies.
