Join our Ambassadors and fellow students each week for a fun session of arts and crafts, or choose from a selection of board games.

Culture Compass

An opportunity for students from around the world to come together and learn how we can communicate more effectively across cultures. The sessions are facilitated by Global Campus Coordinator Mubeenah Waheed and Global Campus Ambassadors.

Local History Walks                                                                                                                       

Develop a greater sense of belonging to your new home city on these walking tours led by local historian Dr Tim Cooper. There is a different walk each week, starting from central campus or the city centre. See the specific History Walks below.
