Arrivals and Orientation for Erasmus / European exchange students

We realise that arriving in a new country and meeting new people may be initially confusing and stressful as well as exciting. Our aim is to make sure that you are fully prepared for studying at Kingston by reading the pre-arrival guidance for international students and by attending the following events once you arrive.

Orientation

This will take place as follows:

  • Date: Friday 5 January 2024 at 12.30-1.45pm
  • Location: The Clattern Lecture Theatre, Ground Floor, Main Building, Penrhyn Road Campus

Topics covered include:

  • meeting some of the Study Abroad International Learning (SAIL) Office team, including contact details and availability
  • details of your Faculty contacts (administrators and coordinators)
  • introduction to successful learning and teaching in the UK/Kingston system
  • introduction to library services
  • finding out more about a wide range of tours around the UK and in Europe, offered by a local tour company.

Faculty Induction Meeting

In addition to the above event, you may need to meet with your faculty Erasmus coordinator/administrator for your specific subject area. At this meeting, you can check the timetable for your study plan (modules) and finalise your learning agreement.

Welcome Reception

There will an informal welcome reception on the evening of Friday 5 January where you can meet other new visiting students in one of Kingston's most popular pubs. The event is invite-only and all relevant students will be e-mailed further details in their pre-arrival information.
