Welcome 2026 is nearly here, and we have lots of opportunities to help you meet people, explore campus life and settle into your NTU community.
Get active with sport
Thinking about trying something new? Welcome is the perfect time to give it a go. Get active with Play for Fun badminton, basketball, climbing, Pickleball and many more. It's a great way to have fun, meet new people and try something different.
Enjoy food and drink events
From breakfast clubs and brunch meet-ups to afternoon tea on campus, there are lots of chances to grab a bite to eat while getting to know other students.
Discover your new society
No matter what your interests are, there's a society for you. Visit the Freshers Fairs during Welcome to meet society members, find out what's on offer and sign up for activities that match your interests.
Explore Nottingham
Make memories with your flatmates and new friends through a variety of trips and experiences. From ghost walks and farm trips to live music and cave tours, there are plenty of ways to discover the city.
Meet people through alcohol-free events
If sober socials are more your thing, there are lots of opportunities to connect with other students. Join craft sessions, quiz and games brunches, visit local galleries or discover your new favourite board game.
