Before you arrive

Before you arrive in September there are several key tasks you'll need to complete.

1

Order a lab coat 

As a ‘welcome to the course’ we would like to provide you with a free lab coat. To order, go to our online shop and select your size (read on for more guidance on the ordering process).

Your lab coat will be available to collect during Welcome Week. 

Please note the deadline for ordering your lab coats is Sunday 1st September 2024 if you would like to receive these during Welcome Week. 

If you miss this deadline, you'll still be able to order items, but you may not receive them until a later date. 

If you have any issues or queries, please email us

Visit the Cancer Sciences Shop

You'll receive a link by email from us with your course handbook that you can read before you arrive. 

The handbook contains all the information you should require on the course including university policies and how to access student support. 

Once you have fully registered onto the course, you'll be given access to Moodle (the student online learning platform) where you'll be able to download the handbook and other useful documents.
