Hello!

Welcome to your Bloomsbury Institute community. Studying for a degree is a life-changing experience, and we are so excited to be on this journey with you.

Here to help

We know starting higher education can feel daunting, but we’re here to support you every step of the way. Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions can be found below but don’t hesitate to get in touch with your Student Engagement, Wellbeing and Success (SEWS) team if you need any help.

We’re here Monday – Friday, 9am-5pm except bank holidays.

Induction

Your induction includes fun activities led by our current students and provides you with key information you will need to get the most out of your time studying with us.

Induction activities take place during the week before your classes start, SEWS will be in touch to invite you along to them. In the meantime, you can take our online induction course to find out more about us.

Enrolment

Enrolment is the process you need to complete in order to become an official Bloomsbury Institute student. All new students will receive an invite with a specific date and time of when their enrolment is taking place, so please keep an eye on your inbox.

To dos

It’s important to make sure everything below is aligned before the start of term so that when classes start, you’re ready to focus on studying. Remember, we’re always here if you need any help getting ready.

It’s natural to feel nervous about starting studies but we never want you to feel overwhelmed. Our short online resources are designed to help you to come to grips with some of the terminology and resources used in higher education.

You can find more introductory materials, including your syllabus, information about SEWS services and your Student Handbook in the Induction course on Canvas, our virtual learning environment. You can access Canvas once you have enrolled.

Transition to Higher Education course

What is a lecture? How is it different to a seminar? How do modules work?

Higher education is full of unique terms and phrases that you may not be familiar with. The Transition to Higher Education course aims to explain some of the more common terminologies used in higher education and help you to find out what studying at Bloomsbury Institute will be like. You are encouraged to complete as much of the course as you feel helpful.
