Edinburgh Law School Welcome Week 2023/24
Wed 23 August 2023
We look forward to welcoming new and returning students for the start of the academic year 2023/24. The first few weeks are always a busy time with a seemingly never-ending list of things to do, events to attend and people to meet.
We advise students to also check the University of Edinburgh's New Students website and download the University of Edinburgh Events App to register for events that require advanced booking. Please note the schedule of Welcome Week events are subject to change.
Do not forget to bookmark the School of Law's News & Events page to keep up-to-date on events throughout the year.
