International Welcome Programme (Cornwall)
Welcome to Cornwall!
Our International Welcome Programme runs in September and January and is a designed to welcome you to the university and to help you settle into your new life with us. You can’t miss us in our bright pink t-shirts.
Our in person social events must be booked in advance online. Please wait until you are in the UK or have a confirmed arrival date before booking your social event tickets. We do not hold a waiting list but if an event shows 'sold out' and you still want to come please come at the beginning of the event with the correct event fee in cash and we will re allocate any unclaimed tickets.
You do not need to book onto any of our tours or talks, please just come along. If we are restricted in numbers due to capacity it will be first come, first served basis.
Our Students Union (SU) are running a series of welcome events throughout the week to introduce you to what the SU does, the student led societies and society taster events. More information soon.
If you are an Inbound Study Abroad student please contact Luke and Sarah at inbound@exeter.ac.uk with any questions.
We look forward to welcoming any international PGR students, please book an appointment for International Student Clearance.
You are invited to come and meet the International Student Experience team at Intercultural Cafe every Wednesday 15:00-16:30, Lower Stannary.
Links to our presentations will be added following the live sessions in September. You will be able to read or review any of our presentations to help you settle into your time here at the University of Exeter.
