This webpage is designed to provide all the information you need to help you adjust to life in the UK as quickly as possible.

You should plan to join us in person for the start date of your course, which for most students joining BU is Monday 27 January 2025. The information on this page includes useful information to help you plan for your life and studies in the UK.

You can also explore our range of international orientation events for new students which have been designed to provide opportunities to ask questions and meet other students. Some events are drop-in, whilst others require you to sign up in advance - find out more below.
