International Student Centre

Our International Student Centre has been voted "The best in the country" by other international students studying in the UK*

We can help with:

  • visas and immigration
  • English language skills
  • adapting to life in the UK
  • your general safety and wellbeing.

At the International Student Centre (ISC) we're very pleased to welcome back returning students to Derby as well as welcoming new students.

The ISC aims to work with all our international students to provide a broad range of services from providing letters for visas and banks as well as helping you to settle in the UK and make new friends whilst you're here.

We hope to build on the good relationships we've already made with you and we welcome any feedback that will help us to continue to develop the services we offer.
