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.
