But there’s no need to worry, we offer a friendly and confidential service which includes information, help and assistance with a wide range of issues, from immigration advice to faith and health issues – remember your welfare is our top priority. In addition, if you want to find a part-time job to supplement your finances (a great way of getting to know the local inhabitants) our careers services are happy to help. They can also advise on working in the UK once students have graduated.
