Welcome to Cambridge
The University of Cambridge is committed to effective induction for all new members of staff. In addition to the welcome and induction you will receive in your institution, you are warmly invited to take part in the University’s two-stage induction.
The first stage comprises the University’s Induction Online programme.
This web resource is a quick and easy way for you to learn all about what it is like to work here as well as understand your role and responsibilities. It provides key information to help you:
- settle quickly into your new role
- orientate yourself in your first few weeks at the University
- understand how the University works
The second stage comprises Welcome to Cambridge, an event hosted by Personal and Professional Development (PPD). The Welcome to Cambridge events are held twice a year. Following a welcome from a senior member of the University you will have the opportunity to participate in an informal networking activity. The activity will enable you to meet and network with other new colleagues whilst learning some key facts about the University. There will also be an exhibition enabling you to browse the wide range of opportunities and sources of support available to you as a member of University staff.
