In order to welcome new international and EU students to the RCA, the Student Support team run an international orientation at the beginning of each academic year. This year the orientation will take place on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 September 2013.
The orientation is made up of both formal and informal events that aim to introduce new students to living in London and studying at the RCA alongside providing social opportunities to meet fellow students and staff.
To give you a flavour of what to expect from this year's orientation, the programme will include introductory talks on:
- Learning and teaching at the RCA
- Safety in London
- Living in London
- Academic culture
In addition the orientation will also include a social event.
Full details of the orientation will be available here in early August and all international students will be contacted with information on how to register their attendance.
A free airport pick-up service taking new international and EU students from Heathrow to the RCA Kensington Campus will be taking place in September. Exact dates and times will be available towards the end of July.
In June all new international and EU students will be contacted via email with information on how to register their interest in the airport pick-up service, and bookings for the service will open in August.
Please note that this is not a door-to-door service and students will be expected to make their own way to their individual accommodation from the RCA. Members of the Student Support team will be available to help you find the easiest route.
