International Student Support
What do we do
Each campus has an International Student Support (ISS) team to help and support you while you are studying with us. You will meet us during Orientation, and through out the year you will have the opportunity to enjoy info sessions, workshops, social events and trips. We encourage you to use as many of student life services during your study journey as well as contacts within University. We also have extensive contacts with local agencies and community organisations.
What can you do
