International and European student orientation
A series of social events providing opportunities to meet other international students and introduce you to life at the University.
If you are starting with us in September 2023, we would like to invite you to join our international and EU student orientation. Our orientation programme offers you the chance to meet other students and help you settle into your university life in the UK.
International and EU student orientation events will take place between 18 September 2023 and 15 October 2023.
We have planned a schedule of exciting events and workshops. You can find all our events on the UWE Bristol events diary. Please complete our form to register your interest.
We look forward to welcoming you to UWE Bristol very soon but until then you can keep up to date with all that the Global Centre has to offer on our Instagram page.
