We recommend an initial short interview to evaluate your needs, followed by in-depth careers counselling where appropriate. In addition to individual careers counselling, careers advisors run seminars and group sessions for most programmes covering career choice, interview skills and drafting job applications. For international students some of the problems of adjusting to a new city and mmeting new friends can be helped by attending an Orientation Programme. Inform students about the range of English language and study skills support available at their centre, and help students identify areas of interest. The programmes are intended to be fun.
Students have opportunities to get to know each other and to take part in social events.
There is also some free time to get over your flight. Being a student isn't just about lectures and deadlines. You will also want to spend some time in the Students' Union, an ideal meeting place between lectures and a centre for social activities in the evening. Student Union facilities vary from centre to centre, although all offer bars and shops selling stationary, newspapers, gifts, equipment and clothing. The City Campus at Leicester has a travel shop which can arrange flights, rail tickets and other travel-related services.
