Welcome events for MSc Psychology students
Your first steps at the University of Dundee: What to expect, and when
Welcome Week is an opportunity to meet other students starting MSc programmes in Psychology, along with students from other MSc programmes in the School, as well as key members of staff from Psychology and beyond.
Matriculation (registration)
Matriculation is where you officially register as a student with the University of Dundee, to allow you to attend classes and access facilities such as the Library and My Dundee. You'll be asked to matriculate at the start of every academic year while you are a student.
Before you start your course we will send an email to your student email address with a link to eVision.
You will be asked to complete a series of steps to confirm some information we hold about you, or enter this information if it was not supplied in your application.
Please also take a moment to make sure your address details are correct and up to date. Even if you are staying in temporary accommodation we will need local contact details - your address can be updated in eVision later if you move.
You will also need to agree to the University’s Code of Conduct and Declaration.
The final stage of the task will confirm you are a fully matriculated student with the University.
You will be able to check your matriculation status via the Student Profile tab.
