INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

As much as the Students' Union Advice and Information Service would love to offer immigration Advice, we cannot cover everything and the Office of Student Affairs/International Office have a team of excellent International Student Advisers.

For further details of how to access an International Adviser, please contact your nearest Student Centre for their availability times.

List of Contacts
