Orientation and welcome events
We run a number of events to help you settle in when you arrive at Kingston.
The orientation programme aims to introduce you to the University. It includes talks on various aspects of student life, plus tours of Kingston and the surrounding area.
Our welcome events are social occasions, giving you the chance to meet other international students and members of staff.
If you have already applied to Kingston University, find out more about when the events take place and how to book in our pre-arrival information.
Faculty events
Each faculty arranges an induction programme covering:
- the library service;
- computing facilities;
- timetables for lectures, seminars, etc; and
- talks about student support services.
Many of the faculties also run additional events to welcome international students. For example, the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing's annual Enhancement Event offers the chance to meet other students and the academic team in an informal setting.
Students at the event also find out more about the support services available. Past events have included sessions on the University Careers Service and how to get started in a research career.
