Absolutely! All of our international students are invited to join our Social Programme, which fits around your timetable and helps you get the best of your experience in the UK. The Social Programme will help you meet your fellow students and together you'll have evenings out to local restaurants and cinemas, as well as day-trips to nearby places of interest, such as the Lake District, York, Durham and Edinburgh.

Of course. We have all of the information and guidance you will need to make your application here. If you still need some support or just have questions about the process, speak to our International Team, who are here to help you every step of the way.

We do not own any student accommodation but we do have close links with local providers and we can definitely point you in the right direction of some great options. Whether you'd like to live in halls of residence, private rented accommodation or even with a local family, speak to the International Team who can help you find the perfect place.

We know it can be difficult to adjust to living in a new country, especially if there are language barriers. Our dedicated International Team will give you a warm welcome on your arrival and help you settle in. As well as helping you with your enrolment and joining the Social Programme, they can support you with all of the practical, important things such as opening a bank account and registering with a doctor.

We consider and review all international qualifications for all of our programmes and our International Team will be able to assess your existing qualifications and help you onto the right course for you.
