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 on Friday 20th September.

We'll also be running a free pickup service from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) on Monday 16 September (the day before the start of the International Welcome programme).

Sign up for International Welcome Week

The full programme will be available later in the summer. In the meantime, once you start planning your arrival you can sign up for International Welcome Week - we'll send you more information and updates as they're available.
