    Each of the three Liverpool universities have their own nights at the same venues (Edge Hill being the exception). Unless things have changed you're welcome to go to other university nights as they all fall under the same student union.

    LJMU, University of Liverpool and Liverpool Hope all have separate Students' Unions...

    Although most Fresher's Week Events (nights out) will be held in clubs in town so they're likely to be in some of the same venues.

    OP it depends which uni you go to they start at different times.. and LJMU seems to change its starting date every year.

    Re: LJMU Freshers Week
    Freshers for LJMU would be their "Welcome Week" right? Which is the 17-25th of Sep... Is it possible that the Pharmacy course starts before freshers D:! For some reason UCAS is telling me the course starts on the 1st?!? I don't know wether to be happy or utterly depressed about this news :L

    Yeah it's Welcome Week

    I don't think the course would start before Freshers... when I was applying for uni it said all my courses started on the 1st September on my UCAS form. But I think that just means it starts in September. The courses usually start after Welcome Week, so the first week of Welcome Week is Week 1, second week is week 2 which enrolment is in and third week is week 3 which is the first week of lectures. At least that's how it's been for the last two years

    on my UCAS form for Bath, it says 1st December is the start date

    Would be so awesone if I do go there and one day randomly turn up to the uni admissions desk and say "I'm here for enrollment"

    You're right, yeah They have separate unions representing the universities however the ones between LJMU and UoL are in partnership.

    You'll be alright Generally labs and lectures start in the second week. As mentioned it might be subject to change and the Freshers 'week' is ususally spread out over two weeks anyway in Liverpool. The Pharmacy lecturers are quite sympathetic towards people enjoying themselves, just so you know :wink2:

    Oh didn't know they were in partnership.. I work for the LJMU Students Union and never hear anything about Uni of Liverpool's one. I think Uni of Liverpool's One is a lot better by the sounds of things.. got a much better venue and better events! But LJMU's is moving to a new venue in a few years so it should be much better by then just a shame I won't still be a student here to see it! Maybe I'll do a phd so i can stay lol :P

    Ucas said my course starts on the 1st, my accom offer tenancy starts on the 8th, the company for accom said tenancy is arranged around terms and freshers usually starts about a week after you move in so the welcome week sounds right.
