International Student Life Guide

Welcome to our guide for international students at the University of the West of England...

These pages have been designed to provide international students at the University with answers to some of the questions they might have whilst they are here. They are intended to provide an overview of

  • Living and studying in the United Kingdom
  • The city of Bristol and the local services
  • British law on immigration, driving and other issues
  • The University and the services offered to international students

There are a number of ways of using this website. You can either browse through the topics listed to the right or alternatively enter a keyword or question in the 'Search' box and the site will suggest the answers that are most likely to fit your query.

In creating this website, we have brought together the most common questions that international students have asked us in the past and tried to come up with clear and accurate answers. The site will continue to develop as we add more answers. If you have a question that is not answered here, please e-mail uwe.international@uwe.ac.uk and we will try to add a new section to the site.

Please take a few moments to give us someFeedbackabout the International Student Life Guide.
