ISS pre-arrival guide

We strongly advise that you read all of the information in this guide before you arrive for study in the UK. It is also a useful tool to refer to whilst you are studying with us.

You will receive a pre arrival survey which will ask you some key questions. The aim is to help us prepare for your arrival. So, if you need any support and advice we are able to put that in place as soon as possible.

It is important that this survey is completed with as much detail as possible.
