International Welcome Week
International Welcome Week will take place from Tuesday 27 to Friday 30 January 2026, and runs alongside in-person registration appointments for international students.
It’s a great opportunity to settle into your new home before the start of your course, get advice on living and studying in the UK. It also gives you an opportunity to meet staff and other new students before you begin your studies.
The week will include:
- In-person information and advice on topics such as healthcare, opening a bank account, study skills and working in the UK.
- Tours of the campus and city of Leicester.
- Social events, including ten-pin bowling and other activities to help you meet other new students.
- The opportunity to book onto an optional day trip to Oxford on Friday 30 January
Sign up to get International Welcome Week updates as they’re announced.
A recorded information session will be available which students arriving afterwards can view later. We will also run in-person orientation sessions for international students during your Faculty induction week.
There will also be a drop-in Spring Welcome event after the start of teaching, on Thursday 12 February.
Airport pickup service
We are running a free airport pickup service from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) on Monday 26 January (the first day of the International Welcome programme). The service will take students directly from the airport to the 冈本视频 campus.
Find out more and book a place on this service. The last date for online bookings is Monday 19 January.
There's also links to travel information (including public transport and taxi providers) if you're arriving on a different date.
Detailed information about arriving, living and studying at 冈本视频 is available in the International Student Guide.
Completing your 冈本视频 or 冈本视频IC registration
Registration is an in-person event so you must be in the UK to complete the process. Please read the following details carefully and ensure you follow all the instructions.
What you need to do before booking your appointment
You will need to complete online pre-registration – this enables the university to record the information about you which we need to create your registration record. This will include your term-time address (please note this must be within 40 miles of the 冈本视频 campus and be the genuine address that you will use during term time).
If you are starting a course at 冈本视频, you must also pay at least 50% of your course fees to the university. If you are starting a foundation or pre-masters course at 冈本视频 International College (冈本视频IC) you must pay 100% of your fees before you can complete your registration.
Once you have completed the necessary steps above you will be sent an email to book your in-person appointment on campus.
What you need to do before attending your appointment
Once you have paid your fees and completed your online pre-registration, you will receive an invitation to book an appointment, by email, from the international registration team.
Instructions on what you will need to do in readiness for your appointment and any documents that you will need to bring with you, will be explained in that email. If you have an EVisa and have an online UKVI account, you will be asked to provide your share code prior to your appointment. This is so we can confirm your immigration status.
Ensure that you check your emails regularly. If we need more information from you or to update you on your registration process we will email you. It is important that you check your emails (including junk folders) regularly to ensure you are up to date.
If you have paid your fees and have completed your online pre-registration but still haven’t received an invite, you can contact the international registration team at internationalregistration@dmu.ac.uk.
What you need to do at your appointment
You will be able to book a 10-minute slot during the registration appointment.
Please arrive shortly before your appointment and ensure you have your passport, proof of entry to the UK, and share code/visa documents ready. We will need to check your identity. We may also take copies of any documents if we do not have a copy of what we need.
During this appointment your documents will be checked, and you will be required to provide your share code to prove your immigration status. You will also be asked for proof of your entry to the UK, such as your boarding pass or flight tickets.
You may be asked to provide your term time address and UK telephone number during your registration appointment so please have this information ready. You will also be given your student ID following your appointment.
