All new and returning international students are invited to join us for our International Students’ Welcome Day on Saturday 24 September at Northampton Square (our main campus building) from 10.30am.
We'll have a full day of activities, information sessions and fun; a day to enjoy, connect and re-connect with new and old friends. We will also be running registration on the day as well, where you will be able to register and collect your ID card if you would like to.
