First few weeks of study at <strong>St</strong>. Mary’s<br />

What are the important events within the nutrition programme?<br />

Induction week begins on Monday 16 th September 2013. Nutrition students will<br />

have induction meetings during this first week. You will be introduced to<br />

members of the nutrition teaching staff, you will be assigned an academic tutor<br />

and you will have an opportunity to meet other students enrolled on the nutrition<br />

programme. During the induction meetings you will be provided with information<br />

regarding other activities in that week and you will be issued with your timetable<br />

for semester 1. Please make sure that you attend the induction meetings<br />

because important information will be provided!! There will also be an<br />

opportunity that week to discuss your registration status should you be unsure<br />

whether to follow the single honours or combined honours pathway.<br />

When will l be in lecture, seminar and practical sessions?<br />

We will provide you with a more detailed timetable in your induction meetings and<br />

ensure you all know where you should be when teaching begins. Taught<br />

sessions will begin the week beginning 23 rd September. The timings of your<br />

sessions will differ depending on whether you are a single honours nutrition<br />

student or combining with another subject.<br />

Single Honours Nutrition <strong>St</strong>udents:<br />

Single honours nutrition students will study three nutrition modules in semester 1<br />

and three in semester 2. The timetable remains provisional, however your<br />

taught sessions are likely to be held:<br />

In Semester 1: Monday afternoons, Tuesday mornings, and Thursday<br />

afternoons.<br />

In Semester 2: The nutrition modules are scheduled to run on Monday mornings,<br />

Tuesday morning and Tuesday afternoon, and Thursday afternoons.<br />

This timetable information is provisional and room and staff availability can<br />

lead to changes but we hope to avoid this.<br />

Joint Honours Nutrition <strong>St</strong>udents:<br />

<strong>St</strong>udents combining with other subjects will study Nutrition modules on a<br />

Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon in semester 1 and 2.<br />

lead to changes but we hope to avoid this.<br />

For each module that you study you will provided with a module guide that will<br />

give you specific week-by-week and session-by-session information so you will<br />

know what type of session you will have, at what time and in which room. Each<br />

module also has an intranet site with lots of additional information and learning<br />

resources. We will show you how to access this when you arrive.<br />
