Hello. Welcome to Monday. It’s the start of another lovely week! This week, we want to look at the International Student Support pages via QOL. These can be found under Academic & Student Affairs and Student Support & Development.
Last week, we covered Careers & Employability Skills.
What is International Student Support?
The International Student Support Team at Queen’s is here to help students make the most of their experience as international students. This dedicated Team provides professional advice in relation to visas and immigration matters from the time of application to the University, right through a student’s studies with Queen’s.
The Queen’s immigration advice and services are carried out in accordance with the UKCISA Codes of Ethics. They are authorised to provide immigration advice by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner who regulate the provision of immigration advice in the UK.
If you’re moving to a new country, it can be tough. The International Student Support Team are here to guide you to ensure your time in Belfast is as enjoyable as possible.
