Enrolment and Induction for International Students

Enrolment 

Enrolment is the process of officially registering as a student at the University. This includes providing necessary documentation, confirming your personal details, and ensuring all administrative requirements are met. For international students coming to the UK, enrolment typically involves the following steps: 

1. Collecting Your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP): upon arrival in the UK, you must collect your BRP from your allocated collection point. This permit is essential for your stay in the UK. 
2. Bringing documents to the university: you need to bring your BRP and passport to the Student Centre in the Waterfront Building. We will make copies of these documents to complete your enrolment. 
3. Confirming personal information: you will review and confirm the personal information we have on record for you to ensure it is accurate. 
4. Selecting modules and timetable: you will choose your courses (modules) and finalise your class schedule (timetable). 
5. Arranging tuition fees: if you are sponsored or paying your tuition fees yourself, you can arrange the payment during this process. 

Completing the enrolment process is crucial as it allows you to officially start your studies, access University facilities, and participate in classes.
