An international student’s first experiences of the UK
and your institution are crucial. As well as offering
a welcome, orientation offers a basis for successful
adaptation to life as a student at your institution and
is all the more effective if it reflects its true ethos.
This course is highly participative.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- clarify what their orientation programme is aiming
to achieve
- identify resources needed and discuss ways of
obtaining them
- experience the various stages involved in
planning an event
- identify what needs to be included in a
successful orientation programme
This course is suitable for:
those who have recently taken responsibility for, or
a key role in, organising their institution’s orientation
programme. The course might also be useful for
more experienced staff who may wish to consolidate
their experience and share their own ideas and
strategies.
