Welcome is a program of events that showcases all that life at UWE Bristol has to offer. It is jam-packed with opportunities to meet new people and make new friends. Our events and activities are for everyone: whether you are fresh out of school, coming to us as a mature student, or returning as a second or third year.

Showcasing the very best of what your campus has to offer, the Glenside Welcome Fair is your go-to for everything you need to know about life at UWE Bristol.  

Say hello to student-friendly organisations, sign up to societies, see what our sports clubs have to offer and bag yourself some freebies along the way!

As well as a whole host of stalls specifically tailored to healthcare students, our Fair also features activities to kickstart your academic year in style.

This is an event not to be missed – whether you’re a new or returning student, everyone’s welcome!
