International students

Campus facilities and access points may change between academic years, and it can take time to get familiar with the layout and key buildings.

Checking what’s new before you arrive helps your first days feel simpler and more manageable.

Before you travel

• Review the latest campus maps so you can see where your main teaching buildings, services and study spaces are located.
• Check for any building changes, temporary closures or updates that might affect your route during your first week.

When you arrive

• Allow extra time on your first few days to find your way around campus.
• Look up opening times for important services such as the library, cafés and IT support.
• If your course uses specialist spaces (labs, studios or workshops), make sure you know where these are located and how to access them.

Why this matters

Knowing what to expect before you arrive helps reduce stress and ensures you can get to your induction activities and classes on time.
