Welcome to Freshers’ Week 2013 Welcome to Freshers' Week 2013 and what we hope will be one of the most enjoyable weeks of your life! Your Students’ Union will be here to help you to settle in and let you know what opportunities and support services are available. At the University of Bath, Freshers' Week is for everyone, so whether you want to join two thousand other Freshers for our famous Toga Party, or prefer to chill out listening to an Open Mic session, you'll be sure to find something you will enjoy. This guide gives you just a snippet of what you can expect from your Freshers’ Week!
Students’ Union Officers SU Officers are ordinary students who are elected by you to run your Students’ Union. They are responsible for the strategic direction of the Union, and they represent you to the University as well as nationally and internationally. Drop by and chat to a SU Officer Tuesdays 12-2pm, Student Centre or contact us.
