It’s time to embrace your inner animal, so think cheetah, zebra or leopard print as we head on safari at one of Nottingham’s biggest and most iconic venues, The Palais. Across multiple rooms, expect huge DJs, an incredible atmosphere and FREE themed giveaways throughout the night.

Student tips

Thoughts and advice from current students on your first few days with us.

My most important message is never feel alone! The University and Students’ Union have amazing help and support teams. We have students that run events, meetings and socials for mature students and students with caring responsibilities. A worry shared is a worry solved, and talking to other mature students and student parents during Welcome Week really made a big difference for me.

Remember, everyone’s still as nervous as you, this is their first time doing what you’re doing too so push yourself a little bit more to say ‘hi’ – it goes a long way.
