ORIENTATION

September 2025

To get the most out of University, you must prepare, take care and persist.

Starting university is an exciting experience. It’s a chance to follow your passion, make new friends and learn new skills, all while on the path to your chosen career. Whatever your reason for studying, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start – especially if you’re new to university life.

We are here to provide you with a range of resources, activities and supports, both on campus and online, to help you get the best out of your studies at Flinders University.

Make sure you follow our student social media channels (Ask Flinders and Hey_Flinders) to stay up to date with news and information related to your time at Flinders.

We look forward to seeing you!
