Support and Advice

We understand that moving abroad to study in the United Kingdom is a big step. It may be the first time away from your family and your first time in a new country. That’s why we’re here to support you.

One of the benefits of the Keele University International College (KUIC) experience is a softer landing in the UK. We are here to help you settle in and familiarise yourself with living in the UK.

As soon as you arrive, we will provide support and guidance on the following:

• Accommodation
• Public transport
• Timetables and classes
• Creating a UK bank account
• Registering with the doctor
• Joining clubs and societies

You will have access to the University’s central support services from day one, including:

• Disability support and inclusion
• Financial support
• Counselling and mental health
• Residence life (accommodation)

Whatever support you need, we are here to help. The Student Services Hub is based in Claus Moser, in the centre of campus. There is also a Student Experience and Support team based within every Faculty, offering one-to-one support.
