We will be providing an airport pick up service from Heathrow and Gatwick airports from Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th September. Book a place here!
We have prepared a series of events to help you settle into your new environment and familiarise yourself with the support available to you as a student at Goldsmiths. Please see the full schedule of events below.
In addition to the events listed below, there will be lots of other events organised by Goldsmiths’ Student’s Union such as day trips around London. For further details closer to the time, please go to Goldsmiths Students' Union.
