Don’t listen to us!

Take some tips from those who’ve studied abroad before you. And what they say is..

Get Involved!

Looking is fine, but doing is better.  Get involved in your local community. Arcadia clubs give you an insight into British culture and an opportunity to meet fellow Arcadia students. Or why not experience some real British hospitality by spending a weekend inside a British home for free with HOST UK Homestay. Have your study abroad experience recognised with a Co-Curricular Learning Certificate

Entry is now open for our competitions, photo & video, with prizes to be won!  

Staying Safe & Well

London and the UK generally are relatively safe, but the same rules apply here as at home. Take some tips from the US Embassy

Keep more of your money

Studying abroad doesn’t have to cost a fortune with our guide to keeping your money in your pocket. Join in Arcadia free or subsidised events.

What can we do for you?

We offer academic support in the Writing Center with our faculty.

Remember...

We want you to have a great study abroad experience. If it all gets too much, don’t forget you have plenty of support. Speak to an Arcadia staff member. We hope you've had a fantastic first few weeks of study abroad. Look out for more news, tips and information online and in person soon.
