International Students - Right to Study Check
After completing course registration, all international students requiring a visa to study in the UK will need to attend an in-person right to study check (you can also collect your BRP at the same time, if we have it). You'll also be able to pick up a free UK SIM card (on a first come, first served basis), and speak to a friendly International Student Ambassador and ask any questions you might have about life in the UK. For students arriving during our main arrivals window in September, you can book your right to study check via the Welcome Week Timetable.
We're also running various sessions throughout the Arrivals Period and Welcome Week for international students, including advice on digital banking, day trips to take in the UK and adapting to UK culture. Head to the Welcome Week Timetable and use the "Filter by event type" and tick "International Students" to find out more!
