These pages provide practical guidance on healthcare, banking, transport and safety, as well as information about our International Student Orientation Programme (ISOP).

Students arriving in England in 2021

It's important that students are aware of the rules regarding international travel in 2021.

See the 'Preparing to arrive in England - travel advice' webpage for full details.

Please be aware that at 4am on Monday 4 October 2021, the rules for international travel to England changed from the red, amber, green traffic light system to a single red list of countries and simplified travel measures for arrivals from the rest of the world. We have publishing details of these changes on the 'Preparing to arrive in England - travel advice' webpage.
