Hi Everyone, 

Hope you are all doing well! We have another webinar for you to get stuck in with this week and it’s all about Money, Banking and Budgeting. 

Budgeting is an important part of everyday life and it’s something which all students have to learn, not just internationals. While it’s not the most exciting subject it is an important life skill and can often mean you can afford those luxuries from time to time.

To help make budgeting for your studies that little bit easier for you, we have created three simple guides to help.

Hi Everyone,

In this week’s update we are going to share with you all about Stoke-On-Trent.

Stoke is the city in where most of you will be staying for your time at University and it is a city rich in heritage. Being the world capital of pottery you will notice that everywhere you look there is some link to Stoke’s pottery history.

Portia Bentley has very kindly made a guide to Stoke-On-Trent.
In the guide Portia explains all about the 6 towns of Stoke and their history, you can watch it here: All Things Stokie Video

Stoke also has it’s own network of Canals. Both the Trent and Mersey and Caldon Canals are within a 5-minue walk from campus. 

Please keep an eye out on your emails over the coming weeks, because we will be sending out more key information about getting ready for University. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch, please email: ISA@Staffs.ac.uk 

Please note we are no longer running the webinars on Microsoft Teams and instead uploading them to YouTube for you to access when you like. Please use the email above for any questions relating to the PowerPoints and videos. 

Have a great week! 

Hello and Welcome to all new International Students from the International Student Support Team.  

We hope you are looking forward to your studies here at Staffordshire University and are excited to start the preparations for your journey.  

Over the next few weeks, we will be emailing you information about your journey to the United Kingdom. Below are some links to the first  in this series of pre-arrival information we will send to you.  This week we are focusing on “preparing for your journey”.  Included is a simple guide about booking tickets, accommodation and travelling to the UK. It is important you read through all this information because the travel guidance is different, depending on which country you are traveling from.  The earlier you start to plan for your journey the better prepared you will be.  

Below is a link to a PDF, PowerPoint and Welcome video. The PowerPoint is the same as the Welcome video but allows you to go through at your own pace.

Welcome Video can be accessed here:  

We have also have a PowerPoint webinar which can be accessed here:
