Starting out at university can be overwhelming with all the things that need to get done - enrolments, visa registration, payments. For international students particularly, you would need to check your visa requirements and have all your documentation and registration done correctly, and in good time, before even starting at the university.

All of this can be a bit of a hassle if you do not have the right information or know exactly what to do. That's why the University has dedicated support services and personnel to help you navigate all of these processes seamlessly and these services are completely accessible to you in a few clicks on the University of Glasgow website.
