International and European student orientation
A series of social events providing opportunities to meet other international students and introduce you to life at the University.
We are currently planning our September 2024 International and EU student orientation programme which will offer you the chance to meet other students and help you settle into your university life in the UK.
We look forward to welcoming you to UWE Bristol very soon but until then you can keep up to date with all that we has to offer on our Instagram.
If you have any questions, please email globalstudents@uwe.ac.uk.
Please note: a photographer may be present during student orientation and some of the images might be used in the future for marketing and promotional activities. If you do not wish to be photographed, please let us know at the event.
