Refresh and Connect

Wednesday 12 March 2025, Babbage 410
• Refresh your memory of the support, clubs and societies, and opportunities available to you
• Connect with staff and other international students
We hope you have settled in to your new life in Plymouth. When you first arrived, you may have felt overwhelmed with information or perhaps you missed the official welcome. Join us at our Refresh and Connect event, where you can meet our friendly University support teams (including The Student Hub, Student Immigration Advice, Pastoral and Spiritual Support) along with your Students' Union team, and Devon and Cornwall Police. They'll be there to explain how they can help you and answer any questions you may have.
Learn about resources, groups, and activities available to make you feel at home, while making friends with other international students. Share your experiences of moving to the UK and settling into university.
