University Induction - Your Newcastle

The University’s induction course has been created to support you as you settle into university life with us. It can be accessed online via Canvas.

The induction course works alongside the Business School’s in-person induction activities and is broken up in two main parts:

  • Essential information - you are expected to complete this as part of your induction
  • Your Newcastle Guide - designed to help you find help when you need it
