International Welcome Week

International Welcome Week will take place from Monday 15 to Friday 19 September 2025, 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 19th September.

We will be running a free pickup service from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) on Monday 15 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.
