Student Support

Buddy scheme

Are you a new International Student? Do you need some help finding accommodation or opening a bank account or just need a friendly face to help you round the campus?

If the answer is YES then you need a Buddy.

The buddies with UClan's Pro Vice-Chancellor Angela Murphy and Vice-Chancellor Malcolm McVicar

The Buddy team is made up of 20 international students and graduates who work closely with the International Student Support Team, based in The 'i' in Foster Building.

During August and September there will be a helpdesk in The 'i' staffed by the Buddy team. They will answer any questions you have.

The teams work very hard preparing to welcome our international students and you may well have met the buddies during the pre-sessionals.
