Whether you’re a Fresher starting at Manchester Met this September, or a Welcome Week veteran excited to return to uni after summer, we’ve got a line up you won’t want to miss. 

It's what you've been waiting for: The Union's Welcome Week Guide. 

 


 

This year, we’ve gone bigger and better with over 30 events lined up to help you settle in, make new friends, and start your university journey on the right foot. 

 There's something for everyone from the epic Freshers' Fair, where you can explore various clubs and societies, to themed parties and movie nights.

 


 

Our lineup includes: 

 

A Fan Favourite... 

 · Freshers Fair: 2 days' worth of freebies to fill your pockets, fun and more. Pop down and discover all the student societies and services available, meet new people and maybe even win some prizes along the way.

For the Night Owls… 

 

  • We’ll even be having our own Union Film Fest, for a full day of back-to-back showings of Shrek 2, Dune: Part Two, Hot Fuzz and The Cabin in the Woods. Get the (free) popcorn, pizza and candy floss ready! 

 

For the Doers... 

· Get active and involved in our obstacle courses, scavenger hunts and walking tours 

 

In your Artistic Era? 

· Be artistically inspired with photography and art discussions, poetry readings and drama performances 

 

Wanting an Immersive Cultural Experience? 

· Come and celebrate diversity with The Union's very own Culture Fest, along with film screenings, and cultural exhibitions. 

 

Craving a Wholesome Day Out? 

· Make yourself at home with our 2-day poster and plant sale or even join The Union for a trip to IKEA. Maybe even treat yourself and your housemates to some thrifting at our vintage clothing sale

For the Parents, Carers and Commuters... 

  • We’re joining up with the folks at Born To Be Wild Child an afternoon of crafts, games and even a DJ! The whole family is guaranteed to have fun.  

 

  • If you’re also a mature student, head along to our Mature Students Mixer where you can connect with other people starting a degree later in life. 

 

  • Not living on campus? Come along to our Commuters Chat and Chill to meet other students who’ll be commuting, maybe you can even find someone to car-share with! 

 


 

And these are just a few of the incredible events we’ve got planned for you!
