Who is the New to the UK programme for?
Moving to a university in another country can be both exciting and daunting. To help you settle into the UK, the University, organises a programme of activities for international students who are new to the UK and starting a degree at the University of Westminster. We will help you meet new people and introduce you to living and studying in the UK.
The programme is not aimed at Education Abroad or Exchange students, who will have a separate programme organised by the Study Abroad team.
When and where will the New to the UK programme be held?
The New to the UK programme will take place at our Marylebone Campus before enrolment begins. For January 2025, the scheduled date is: Monday 13 January 2025.

How do I book my place on the New to the UK programme?
The booking invitation will be sent to all new international students who have an unconditional offer on a course and have paid their deposit. Invitations will be sent out from the end of November on a rolling basis. After you have booked your place, you will be sent joining instructions and information about the programme.
Please note: booking a place on our New to the UK programme does not mean you have enrolled at the University, and your place may be subject to your having a Student visa and other documentation. You will receive further communications about enrolment in early December. You can also visit our webpage about enrolment or get in touch if you have any questions.
