UNIVERSITY OF EXETER
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT WELCOME PROGRAMME 2021
WELCOME A WARM WELCOME TO ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS STUDYING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF EXETER IN CORNWALL Our programme of events will help you with practical information sessions alongside social events to help you meet new people and quickly settle into campus life, and your new life in Cornwall. Most events are free, and some marked with a * are repeated throughout the week, so you only need to attend once. We know there's lots going on during Freshers' Week! It is important that you prioritise Academic Induction events in your timetable, and International Student Clearance. International Student Clearance is compulsory for all non-UK passport holders, scan the QR code to book your appointment, or click here:
