Do you know if we need to do any reading or anything before we start?

I haven't been told or heard anything about reading or anything. Infact I don't actually know much about our course in terms of when we start or if we need to do anything before we start. Have you heard anything?

I called them about when it starts and they said mid September, which I'm guessing is around the 21st when other courses start. They also said they're sending emails about reading lists and enrolment so guess we'll find out then

Im currently in fulltime work and they keep asking me at my workplace what my availability is. Do you guys think we will be sent our timetables ahead of time?

I also know a day I cant come to lectures due to a work-related meeting (final stage of promotion!) and if I could tell my lecture ahead of time, Id feel alot better about it.

Hi,
I'm also doing the Biomedical Science foundation year course :smile:

Has anyone heard anymore about the induction week for us?

Allison.

I called them up today, they said that we'll get all the information we need regarding that at enrolment this weekend :smile:

Also, apparently there was some induction day for us at Kingston College, but I never heard anything about it, did you, by any chance?

I have received an email during the week from the Kingston College Admissions about the Science pathway timetable. I assume everyone will get this email at some point as I had to complete an enrolment online for the college.

We also have to enrol with the college on Tuesday 22nd and will given times on the Monday. If no one else has received the email, I can post the timetable if you all want me to :smile:
