Now that the Alevel results are through or you have made a final decision to return to studying after abreak, I expect you might be feeling somewhat nervous. What will life at Leeds belike? What sort of choices do I have? What do I have to do when I get here? Thisbooklet is designed to help.Although we hope that this will answer most of your initial questions, you should not beafraid to ask if you do need any help or advice. Where possible, we have indicatedwho you should contact if we are not be able to help. We hope that we have put aprogramme together for the first week that will be informative and helpful.For the first time, new students will be able to enrol on modules before they arrive inLeeds. Please read the booklet and any accompanying advice sheets very carefullybefore deciding which modules to take. If you are still unsure then email us onpolisugmodules@leeds.ac.uk . International Development students should note thatthey must send us their choice of minor programme and allow time for this to belogged on to the system before choosing their modules.There is an initial meeting on Monday 22nd September in the Environment LectureTheatre F at 10am (see instructions on page 20) and you should ensure that you putthis in your diary.Best wishes.Prof Clive JonesHead of SchoolThis booklet was as accurate as we could make it at the time of going topress, but the School cannot be held responsible for any errors containedtherein.
