Your course induction in four steps
It is important to attend your course induction because it will help you to understand how you are expected to study, summarise the highlights of your subject, and give you the opportunity to make friends on your course.
Your induction timetable tells you what to expect and where to be in the first week of your course.
You must attend all your course induction activities - search for your course induction to find your start date and induction timetable.
If you need help getting around, visit our campus page for directions to all buildings.
Most course inductions will have a pre-arrival task to complete alongside your induction timetable. We've designed these to get you thinking about your studies and in the right mindset to hit the ground running before you arrive.
Make sure to complete it in good time, and use the contacts section on your induction page if you have any questions
Once you have completed your enrolment, your full timetable will tell you where to be and when for the whole academic year, with precise timings and rooms. You can view your timetable from 12 pm on Monday 8 September through NOW (the NTU Learning Portal).
Please note that timetables are live documents and may be subject to change, so check back regularly for the most up-to-date information.
The online induction is designed to get you started before you arrive and to help you feel confident as you get ready to join us. It provides general information about the university and your studies, as well as where and how to find support if you need it.
To access your online induction, you'll first need to download the MyNTU app. After that, you'll find the induction in NOW, where you can complete it at your own pace.
For more information, see our Starting at NTU Checklist.
Our video explainer explains everything you need to know to complete your course induction with confidence.

Support to help you settle in
Your student mentors
Each first-year student at NTU is assigned a Student Mentor. You'll meet your Student Mentor as part of your course induction.
They play an important role in helping you settle into life at NTU. They are typically second year, final-year, or postgraduate students who have studied the same course as you.
