Before you arrive

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

1

Order your lab coat

All students will be required to wear a white Howie lab coat when working in a laboratory. 

We'll provide this for you. In order for us to get you the right size, please complete our online order form. Please be aware that you may need a larger size so that it can be worn over winter clothing as the labs can be cold during the winter.

 

2

Get membership to the Physiological Society

The Physiological Society is Europe’s largest network of physiologists and have been at the forefront of science for 140 years. Bringing together over 4000 scientists from over 60 countries, members have included over 60 Nobel Prize winners from Ivan Pavlov to John O’Keefe.

You'll be able to collect your university card from Monday 25 September to Friday 20 October (excluding weekends) from a collection point on the campus where your school or course is located. 

From Monday 23 October onwards, you'll be able to collect your card from your designated Home Student Service Centre.

Note: If you’re planning to arrive at the university’s Halls of Residence between Thursday 21 to Sunday 24 September, you'll receive a temporary card to enable access to buildings. You'll be expected to exchange the temporary card for your university card when you collect it.
