Please bring with you the time-table and the registration form, which is available online. Kindly note that the lectures will start on 5th October 2015 From today onwards you are to check your University email account (when available) regularly, as I correspond and send a lot of useful information via emails, including deadlines. Please note that the Institute's Office will be closed for lunch break from 12.30 to 1.30pm. From 12th October you are to abide by the students' hours which will be communicated to you later. Those students who have received and passed their resit results and are eligible to entry into University, may attend the meetings and lectures, irrespective of whether you have received the letter from the Office of the Registrar, as it may take some time to process all applications. The list of optional study-units is available on esims. Click on View data base. Click on Optional study-units suitable. Click on study-units available only 2015/16. Click on ECTS credits. I am afraid that only those students who have received their acceptance letter and activated their University email account have access to esims. You may choose any study-unit you wish. But keep in mind to choose at level one. Also remember that it should not clash with other study-units. Check time-tables either on the respective websites or on the notice boards. Good luck and regards to all. Anna Saliba Institute for European Studies
