International students
Study in the UK
International students come to the UK for a quality education and an internationally recognised qualification. A recent survey by the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) showed that nine out of ten international students were satisfied with their experience.
Positive benefits include academic experience, independence, meeting people from all over the world, improving learning language skills and learning about the UK. Here are some resources to help you on your journey from getting a visa and managing your finances to finding a job after you graduate.
For advice on visa and immigration issues, both pre and post arrival in the UK, contact the International Student Advice team in the City University's Student Centre (Level 2). The easiest way to contact an adviser is to email: visaadvice@city.ac.uk.
