International Student Support

We empower international students to flourish by providing timely, clear, and accurate advice, facilitating meaningful connections, and celebrating cultural diversity.

Through partnerships with students, staff and our volunteer network, International Student Support (ISS) positively impacts the lives of every international student in their academic journey as the specialist university service with expertise in culture, compliance, and international transitions. ISS supports students in the full life cycle of their degree, providing appointments through our specialist advisory service, as well as social and cultural events and excursions.
