Description: Welcome to Swansea! Croeso I Abertawe!

Whether you have just enrolled, or whether you have been studying remotely and have chosen to come to Swansea for the first time, we are here to help you in your transition and support you during your time here.

We’d love you to come along and meet us – there will be members of the International@CampusLife team to chat to, and we’ll be able to explain more about what we do.

We’re here to help with visa and immigration related issues as well as ensuring you have the best possible experience during your time here. That includes organising events, activities, trips and socials all year round. These are led by our GO! Team and you’ll be able to find out more about this too.

Call in and meet us, there will be refreshments provided and things to do, as well as an opportunity to meet other students. This session is not for academic advice – we are here for your life beyond studies, so feel free to ask us anything you want about life in the UK.

We really hope to see you there!
