Pre-Arrival Welcome and Orientation Sessions 2026

A group of parents and students walking on Chester campus

International Students January 2026 

Are you an international student joining the University of Chester in January or February 2026?

This online session is for international students only and will help you get ready for your studies by introducing you to the Study Visa and Compliance Team.

We’ll explain what you need to do and know to keep your visa safe while studying in the UK, including information about online and in-person enrolment, attendance monitoring, and Graduate Visa eligibility after your course.

It is crucial that you pay all of your fees before leaving your home country.

This is a great chance to make sure you’re fully prepared before your course begins and to ask any questions you might have about studying in the UK.
