International Orientation Programme
International Orientation Programme January 2021
The International Orientation Programme is the perfect way to introduce you to life in Northampton and the UK. The programme is free of charge and is open to all EU and International students studying at the University of Northampton.
Our programme is organised to help you make new friends and meet other students, to welcome you to the University and to help you settle into your new surroundings and life in Northampton and UK. There is an extensive range of social activities, presentations, workshops and tours taking place and we encourage you to take advantage of everything that is offered.
The International Orientation Programme for Undergraduate students will be on Thursday 7 – Friday 8 January, and for Postgraduate students on Thursday 21 – Friday 22 January. The International Orientation Programme has been made available online, so you can join the sessions whether you are in the UK or your home country. All you need is a computer, tablet or mobile to access it. The programme offers a range of live sessions, pre-recorded videos and information for you to read.
The International Orientation Programme is a great opportunity for you to engage with other international and EU students. We recommend that you take the time to read the information, watch the videos and book in for our live sessions. We can’t wait to meet you soon!

The International Orientation Programme is organised by the International Student Support Services (ISSS) team. We offer both immigration advice and support and advice on a range of queries including working during and after your studies, settling into life in the UK and general welfare advice. To help you get familiar with our services and to know what to do in the first few weeks of your arrival into the UK, we have created a self-learning programme for new international and EU students. The programme takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. We recommend that you complete the programme in your own time during the International Orientation Week.
