We can offer advice on visa application before you apply and on extending or renewing visas during your studies.
You will also be given a personal tutor during your studies and both they and the International Office will offer you support on all aspects of life in the UK during your stay, including:
- Admissions from abroad and once here, queries relating to Higher Education
- Letters for visa applications
- Certificates for registration/attendance
- Information on the social/cultural programme and local leisure facilities
- Information about living in Sussex
- Information on places of worship
- Help with completing student visa extension forms
In addition to this support, the College also offers advice on:
Counselling
If you have any personal issues which you wish to discuss, our trained counsellor is available to give free and confidential help.
Careers
Our careers advisers can offer help on choosing the right Higher Education course or on progressing your career in the UK. We can also help you to translate your qualifications to the English equivalent.
Welfare & Advice
The College has an International Welfare adviser to help with all aspects of your stay, including visa applications.
We aim to make your stay a happy and successful one.
We provide a first class service to all our International Students, from application to completion of your course.
Social Programme
Our International Students regularly comment on how friendly the College is and how many friends they have made. We know that you have come here to study but you also want to have fun, learn about the UK and other cultures, and make friends.
The International Department runs a regular programme of trips and activities throughout the year, including parties, quiz nights, pubs, clubs and trips both to places of interest in the UK and European city breaks.
The College also has a Student’s Union which offers social, cultural and recreational facilities throughout the year as well as football and ten pin bowling teams.
