International Students
Going to university can be a daunting thing but when that university is located in another country, it can be an even more nervous experience. To help you settle in we have arranged a programme of events that will enable you to enrol with the University and register with all the necessary authorities as well as giving you the opportunity to meet other new students, find out more about your course, and become familiar with the campus and town.
The Students’ Union also organises a number of day trips for international students, offering you the chance to see more of the UK during your time studying at the University of Huddersfield.
