We'd like to extend a very warm welcome to our students from all over the world!
The first thing you must do is complete your ARU London registration online. You'll only be able to access your teaching timetable after you have registered. So, the earlier you register the earlier you will receive your timetable. You'll receive your unique username and password around four weeks before you start your studies.
You can then come to our information centre, known as the iCentre, to collect your ARU London ID card. All international students in the UK must have an ARU London ID card. Remember to bring your passport with you as ID.
When you have arrived in the UK, please let us know by emailing internationaladvice@aru.ac.uk and we can check in with you and answer any questions you may have.
Biometric Residence Permit Collection (student visa holders only)
Your BRP will be sent to the Post Office you selected. Once you have collected it, please remember to bring it to our i-Centre, along with your passport. We must have a copy stored our records system.
All international and EU students
There is lots of help, support and advice available to all our international and EU students. Once you have registered do read our International Student Handbook to find information on opening a bank account in the UK, registering with our health service and advice on working entitlements and student visas.
The International Office is available for email advice Monday-Friday internationaladvice@aru.ac.uk
Preparing for your studies
At ARU London we understand that it can take time to get used to the way we teach in the UK. Once you arrive we can help with your English Language as we offer free English classes as well as advice on study techniques via our via the LRC (Learning Resource Centre).”
Doing some preparation before you arrive will help you adapt quicker to your course. You can visit websites such as prepareforsuccess.org.uk; these self-access materials can help you refresh your English language and improve your study skills over the vacation period before you arrive.
