The programme has been designed to provide you with everything you need to know before and during your study at Brunel including:

• Looking after yourself in self isolation
• Setting up a bank account and mobile phone
• Building social connections
• Getting medical care
• How to keep yourself safe in the UK or studying online

Your health and wellbeing is our priority at Brunel and we are closely monitoring lastest advice and guidance to ensure your safety.

The September 2020 programme will be delivered online, allowing you to access the information in your own time, from anywhere with internet connection.

Once you have arrived on campus (or completed your self isolation) you'll have the opportunity to safely meet some of your fellow students, and familiarise yourself with the campus and local area with the assistance of our Welcome Guides.
