Each year we offer an optional International Students' Welcome day to welcome new EU and international students. The welcome day takes place before the start of the new academic year and helps international students prepare for their time with us.
You will meet key support staff and attend information sessions aimed at passing on practical information for living in the UK. The welcome day is also a good opportunity to become familiar with the campus and surrounding area before the start of the academic year.
The International Students' Welcome day sessions will provide help with enrolment and practical guidance on opening a UK bank account and accessing healthcare as well as information about navigating the admin needed when you arrive in the UK. There will be introductions to members of staff from the Student Services team and other members of the RAU community who will become familiar faces in the year ahead. The sessions will be informal and relaxed and there will be a low-key social event planned for the evening.
Please note - The International Students' Welcome day is optional and aims to provide a supplementary welcome to the RAU in addition to our core welcome activities.
