Welcome Week

An introduction to living and studying in the UK

Every evening during Welcome week (13-17 Sept) the Languages EAP Team (English for Academic Purposes) are offering our international students a chance to discover more about university life and Cornwall. There’s a focus on  practical information, as well as useful colloquial and local expressions. It’s all very relaxed and friendly, and an opportunity to ask any questions, meet other international students and get your English flowing if it's not your first language. Come along to one or all of the sessions.

Monday  International Network - a chance to meet other international students, swap stories and pick up some useful expressions for socialising in the week ahead. (5.30-7.00pm  Penryn campus, Exchange Blue)
