Before you arrive
Your life as a BCU student starts now, so it's a good idea to plan ahead and get the essential stuff sorted before you arrive at university. Once you’ve enrolled, there’s plenty to get your teeth stuck into before you even set foot on campus.
When you get here
Once you get here, we’ve got a host of activities planned to get you stuck in to life at BCU. It all starts with Welcome Week, but it’s a good opportunity to get familiar with our campuses to find out the best places to eat, socialise and study.
Help and advice
There’s a lot to get your head around in during your first few days here and beyond, but there’s plenty of help at hand. Find out all about our support services as well as some of the important details like your timetable and student contract.
International students
Starting university is hard enough let alone in a different country. We want to give you the best experience from the moment you land in the UK. Check out our Meet and Greet service, and our best advice for adjusting to life in the UK.
Advice for parents
We’ll do our best to make sure your son or daughter is in safe hands at university, but we have some advice for you too! It doesn’t have to be a last minute dash to get them ready for their course, so here’s some things to consider having a chat about.
