International Student Support

We are dedicated to the welfare of international students.

Our International Student Support service provides international students with guidance and information on a wide range of non-academic matters, including:

  • daily life in the UK
  • welfare and financial matters
  • support for students with families
  • student immigration matters:
    • support with Tier 4 student (& dependant) visa extension applications
    • employment regulations for international students when studying
    • implications of making a change to study (e.g. withdrawal, Interruption of Study Transfer)
    • post study work visa options available to international students.

Appointments

We offer pre-bookable appointments and at least one on-the-day appointment for any urgent unexpected issues. We also run a daily drop in service between 14:00 - 16:00 for general enquiries.
