Participation & Points System

University Day is an integral part of your studies. To make the most of the programme’s diversity, all students are required to attend a minimum number of events. Attendance is recorded via a points system – simply scan the QR code for each session on site. Further details will follow.

Note for staff

Participation counts as regular working hours for all staff in technical and administrative roles, as well as those in research and teaching (please note that no overtime or time off in lieu will be accrued on the day).

We look forward to an inspiring day with you!
 

Catering on campus

We’ve also got you covered when it comes to food: throughout the day, food trucks on campus invite you to take a culinary break. Look forward to a selection of savoury and sweet treats, as well as vegetarian and vegan options. This way, you can recharge your batteries between workshops, talks and discussions and enjoy your day at university in a relaxed atmosphere.
