International student support

We want to make sure our international community has access to support resources and important updates.
- Are you thinking about exploring the UK over the winter break? We have put together a handy guide for popular places to visit in the UK to save money when travelling.
- Is your passport linked to your e-Visa? If your BRP expires on 31 December, make sure you have registered and checked that your passport is linked to your e-Visa. This is important if you wish to travel overseas from the UK this Christmas. Support is available at the Student Opportunity Hub (Senate House) until 2pm on 23 December. Further help and guidance can be found on our FAQ page.
- Hear from international student, Modhurima, about her volunteering journey and a recent invitation to the House of Lords for an International Student Celebration event. Read Modhurima's blog and find out how you could make an impact on the University and local community.
