International Welcome Week
International Welcome Week will take place from Tuesday 17 to Friday 20 September 2024, and coincides with in-person registration appointments for international students. It’s a great opportunity to settle in before the start of your course, get advice on living and studying in the UK and meet staff and other new students.
The week will include:
- In-person information and advice on topics such as healthcare, opening a bank account, study skills and working in the UK
- Tours of the campus and city of Leicester
- Social events, including ten pin bowling and other activities to help you meet other new students
- The opportunity to book onto an optional day trip to Oxford on Friday 20 September.
You no longer need to register for International Welcome Week; the full schedule is now available to download and you can just drop in to most sessions. Please note that you'll need to book places for Ten Pin Bowling and for the day trip to Oxford - see the schedule for booking links.
What happens if you miss International Welcome Week? Don't worry! We'll be running in-person orientation sessions in October, which will cover many of the key topics, such as healthcare and opening a bank account. Look out for further information from your faculty about these sessions; additionally, you can find lots of information about arriving, living and studying at Æß²ÊÖ±²¥ in the International Student Guide. There will also be a large-scale Welcome event for new international students in October.
