You’ll find out more about the challenge in your Programme Welcome Talk and your Peer Leaders or Peer Advisors will be helping you along the way!
How will the challenge work?

- Find a time. Choose a day during Welcome Week that you would like to do your Induction Challenge. (Undergraduate students: you will do a Campus Tour in your first Peer Leader session which may help when you complete the Induction Challenge). Find a time to complete the challenge before the deadline which is Monday 30th September 2024, by 12pm.

You must locate each animal and enter it’s location into the form and complete the bonus question. Lastly, take a group photo with one of the animals and post it to your form!
