Campus Maps Welcome to life on campus! Workshops, seminars and tours will be held throughout the UniStep program. To find your way around, take a look at the campus maps.

UniStep
University Student Transition Experience Program

Once the buzz of O'Week has settled, UniStep will help you navigate the first six weeks of University. O'Week can be information overload, so UniStep gives you a chance to find out information as you need it.

Each of the six weeks in the UniStep program has a theme with related activities to help you step towards success and learn more about the Uni. And you don't need to feel like you're 'signing up' for anything – you can choose the topics you feel will best help you.

UniStep will help you to:

• Get to know your faculty and who can help you.
• Step up your skills with workshops to help you with everything from time management to balancing your life with study.
• Get one step ahead with information straight from fellow students.
• Drop in to the 'Taste of Uni' expo.
• Step into the future find out how our Careers Service can help you think about your future by attending one of the workshops on offer this week.
• Step out and celebrate with our big BBQ bash!

Check out each of the weeks below. We'll be putting up more information as each week's program is finalised. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
