MBBCh Medicine

On Monday 23rd September 2024, you will be collected from your halls of residence by the student-led Medical Society (MedSoc). They will walk with you to University Hospital Wales Heath Campus and you will have the opportunity to meet some fellow medical students.  If you are not in one of the main halls of residence, please make your way to Lecture Theatre 1 in the Main Hospital for 09:30 am.

The Medical Society Take Over will start at 09:30am.

In the afternoon, talks will include advice from the Year 1 Team as to how to manage your timetable, if you are not yet familiar with MyTimeTable (MyTT, the online resource you will be using through your course of studies).

Every day during your Introduction Week (Monday 23 September - Friday 27 September) will be populated with course-related student activities between 09:00-17:00.  These will be delivered through a blend of in person lectures, in person activities and online interactive resources.

How to prepare for Introduction Week:

• make sure you have started your DBS Check and that it is underway (see Compulsory Forms and Insurance section below)
• familiarise yourself with the different campuses – the building names, toilets and places to get food and drink
• find your favourite and most comfortable shoes
• have a look at the important course information resources and reading lists available to you (see preparatory reading below)
• you will be required to log your attendance at different events using the School Management System App and QR codes

Once you have access to the Cardiff University Student Intranet, you can start investigating what the University and Students’ Union have to offer. You can also familiarise yourself with MyTimeTable and the library as well as downloading the SafeZone App. Please read the other information below to ensure you are as prepared as you can be.

Below is an outline of your first 2 days so you can anticipate what will happen:
