Pre-arrival and welcome

Pre-arrival information

We'll send you weekly pre-arrival information starting around two months before you are due to arrive.

This will also provide you with useful information to help you prepare for your exchange, as well as details of the welcome sessions.

It's important that you read all the pre-arrival information thoroughly, as it will help you prepare for your arrival in the UK.

Welcome events

The week before teaching starts is Arrivals Week, comprising a number of welcome events as follows:

Education Abroad welcome

The Education Abroad welcome is designed to help you settle in quickly and easily, giving you the chance to ask any questions you might have.

Academic issues, university regulations and more are covered in detail.

The day and time of your Education Abroad welcome will be provided within your pre-arrival information.

School welcome

You will also attend a school welcome session, where you'll learn about modules and academic life within the school.

Details of the School Welcome will also be provided within your pre-arrival information. You may also be invited to welcome events specific to the course you will be studying modules from.

University Welcome Events

The University runs a series of welcome events for new students, details of which will be referenced within your pre-arrival information.
