Useful Information for All Students
The International Office Team
The international office provides support for overseas students and has considerable experience in advising on issues such as immigration, English Language, finance and accommodation, or any other aspect of being an overseas student at the University of St Mark & St John. We offer a free orientation programme at the beginning of your course. This introduces you to the University and the local area, and gives you general advice about life in the UK. You are welcome to visit us during usual working hours.
