International Students

As an international student studying at University there are many things that you will have to deal with, these may include getting to grips with:

• the differences in culture,
  
• being aware from home,
  
• keeping in touch with your relatives
  
• managing financially,
  
• applying for, understanding and working within your visa
  

It’s important that you read your student handbook given to you at your induction so that you are clear about what is expected of you as part of your course. If you don't have a copy of this or you missed the induction contact your tutor.

The Students' Union Advice Centre is able to represent and support international students who are experiencing difficulties with the University. In particular, if you are experiencing financial difficulties associated with your fees, on academic related issues (e.g. unfair means). Please get in touch if you would like some more information
