Student Support
Before you arrive
To find out everything you need to know about registering as a student please see our online Pre-Arrival Information.
The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape has developed a Country Representatives Scheme to support international students. As part of this scheme a number of academics have been appointed as School Representatives for a given Country or World Region. The Country Representatives will act as the first point of contact for students from this area both pre and post arrival. Feel free to contact the Country Representative for your country if you have any questions or concerns.
