Winter programme
From 6 January we’ve got lots of events and activities planned to welcome back our returning students, and help our new students settle into their life in Bristol. We’ll be running campus tours, cultural events, city tours, breakfasts and much more to help you make friends from around the world!
Events are open to all home and international students and staff at the University of Bristol. If you are unable to attend in person, why not watch our webinars about student life in Bristol?
View our list of events below, bookings open a week before the event date. We look forward to seeing you soon!
