Education and research staff induction

The induction event for all new education and research staff takes place twice a year at our Colchester Campus. All new education and research staff are expected to attend this event.

This event provides all new education and research staff with an opportunity to engage with many interesting activities, including an introduction and welcome from the Vice-Chancellor and presentations from the Pro-Vice-Chancellors for Education and Research, the Students’ Union and Human Resources. There will also be an induction fair giving you the opportunity to find out about many of the services available around the University.
