"Lesson Zero" is an initiative designed exclusively for new students, aimed at introducing them to the services and facilities of the degree course and providing useful advice and tips to help them get off to the best possible start in their college career. "Lesson Zero" also serves as Welcome Day. The event is designed to introduce new students to academic life and familiarize them with all the services and opportunities offered by the university, in addition to those provided by the degree program.
Generally, “Lesson Zero”/Welcome Day takes place in place of the first class of the degree course.
Below are the specific dates for “Lesson Zero”/Welcome Day for the degree courses in the Department of Chemistry, Life Sciences and Environmental Sustainability:
