My RAU experience

My decision to study at the RAU followed a visit with my parents on an undergraduate open day. After only a few hours I had decided that this was the university where I wanted to study.  I instantly took to the layout of the university and preferred the smaller environment the campus offered.

The most enjoyable aspect about studying at the RAU was the people I met. I was lucky to be placed with very likeminded people in halls in my first year, and this handful of people have become lifelong friends.

Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)

ETA stands for Electronic Travel Authorisation and it is a digital permission to travel to the UK. The ETA is broadly for visitors who do need a visa for short stays to the UK, or who do not already have a UK immigration status prior to travelling.

ETA is not a visa. If you travel to the UK using an ETA you will still need to apply for a visitor visa upon arrival in the UK.

ETA is multi-use and is valid for two years. It will replace the single use Electronic Visa Waiver (EVW). It is applied for before you travel to the UK.

Transcript of RAU Student Experience video

I came and did an open day and I loved how small the campus was and how close-knit everybody was.

I'm not from a farming background so I wanted an opportunity to get into the industry and I thought with the Uni's connections and research  this would be the best place to do it.

When I came here I found a very loving and welcoming community. The students, the teaching and the non-teaching staff, they have been able to help me settle in and I just feel at home.
