Staff badges
City staff are here to help! As you walk around campus, you may see individuals wearing red City 'Here to help' badges. This is to help make clear that they are a City member of staff and you're welcome to ask them questions if there's something you're unsure about.
Sports Trials
If you're looking to play sport competitively, either individually or within a team, as a beginner or with previous experience, then the Wolfpack is for you.
To join one of City's teams you'll need to attend trials which will be taking place from Monday 26 September - Sunday 2 October. To find your sport's trial dates, head to the sports pages on the Students' Union website.
You'll be able to meet members from the University's sports teams at the Fresher's Fair on Monday 25 September and the Sports and Wellbeing Fair on Tuesday 26 September.
