Welcome Gude Events & Pocket Guides Welcome Guide for International Visiting Students | Page 8

We are delighted that you have
chosen to study abroad at Keele
University and will soon be joining
us and so now you need to start
preparing for your travel to the UK
and your time with us.
This guide is for all new visiting international
students. We understand that you may have
more questions than we can answer in this guide,
so we have created an online induction resource
for new Keele students, which you can find at
www.keele.ac.uk/welcome. This site has been
designed to complement this Guide and to
further assist you in the coming days and weeks
as you prepare for study and life as a Keele
student. Any changes to the welcome
programme such as event times and venues will
be updated on this site so do bookmark the web
address and check it regularly both as you are
preparing to come to Keele and during your first
few days here. Additional information can also be
found at www.keele.ac.uk/iss
