Welcome
Studying overseas is a life-changing adventure, full of challenge but also deeply rewarding. I am delighted that you have decided to come to the UK – where we have a long tradition of giving a warm welcome to international students. The quality of our education system is recognised as world class and support for international students is second to none. We all benefit from your stay in our country. You will acquire unique skills, knowledge and, most importantly, friends for life and our society will be enriched by your presence.
Preparing for this adventure is crucial and will ensure that you settle quickly into both our way of life and your studies.
I hope this book provides
