International Student App

About the service

The International Student App (UK) provides international students with reliable information, practical tips and links to support, so they can have the best possible experience at university.

The app educates international students about health and wellbeing - and explains what to do next when concerned or in crisis. The app promotes safe self-care, offers practical tips on anything that might affect students' health and wellbeing, and reduces avoidable pressure on services. The app also signposts services and other support, making international students aware of useful resources and how to get help if they need it.

The app has support to housing, academic skills, student life and living in the UK and has 11 sections that are easily accessible from the home page.
