Student Services

We appreciate that it may take a while to adjust to the culture and expectations of the academic environment in the UK and to help ensure that you settle in easily and get the maximum benefit from your time with us we have developed an extensive network of support and assistance. There is also an opportunity to attend a detailed Welcome Programme before you begin your full-time studies with us.

The established network of support for international students at University of the Arts London include an International Office for each College located on site and International Development Office located within Central Services at Davies Street.

There is a further network of support for international students provided by Student Services. There are student advisors based in each College as well as a student adviser dedicated to international students based within Student Services at Davies Street. There is a Careers Service and a confidential and free Counselling Service.

Student Advisors are qualified to provide immigration advice and can assist in the visa application process when you are in London. They can also advise on any other non-academic issues while you are studying in London. Throughout the summer, Student Services run workshops on adapting to life in the UK as well as the Welcome Programme in September each year.
