International Welcome Programme January 2022 Our programme of practical information sessions and social events are designed to help you settle into your new life at Exeter, meet new friends and get the best possible start at Exeter. Most events are free but have limited space or have a small fee. Please book a ticket online at the University online store from 10 January. Online booking for each event will close at 12 noon on the day before the event runs. Please do not book any tickets until you are in the UK and have completed any necessary self isolation. We encourage you to take LFD test regularly during your time at Exeter and especially before attending face to face events. We look forward to meeting you throughout the week. Sue O’Hara and the Inbound Study Abroad Team
