Break-out areas are a hub of activity and a great place to relax with friends Classes are small, ensuring you get more personalised support from your teachers
I I hadnt gone to INTO Manchester, I wouldnt have got into Cambridge, that is or sure. On
my own I would not have achieved it as I wouldnt have had the support o my teachers
and the necessary background knowledge. Cambridge is quite unique. You really have to
show them that you stand out rom the crowd. The key to this is condence and having the
attitude that you have nothing to lose. You also have to prioritise your workload and breaking
it into small manageable portions can help. That it the key to success!

When should I aive?
You must arrive in Manchester on the weekend
before the first day of your course or on the
relevant arrival date on page 78. You should
inform the INTO Admissions Office of your date of
arrival and travel arrangements at least seven days
prior to your arrival in the UK, so that we can advise
either the Residential Tutors, or your host family,
of when to expect you.
Tavelling to Mancheste
If you are arriving in the UK for the first time,
we strongly recommend that you fly directly to
Manchester or pickup a connecting flight at one
of the other international airports that have direct
links with Manchester, such as Amsterdam, Dubai
and Paris. These routes are preferable, as you
will avoid transferring through London with the
additional travel time.
For students arriving at Manchester International
Airport, we offer an airport pickup service from the
airport to your accommodation, at an additional
charge. If you want to make use of this service you
will need to provide the INTO Admissions Office
with your full flight details in advance of your arrival
date. Full details of the pickup service are provided
with your confirmation documents.
If you are under 18 when you arrive this service
is compulsory, unless your parents can provide
evidence to our Admissions Office that a suitable
arrangement has been made for your collection
from Manchester International Airport at which
you arrive into the UK. This compulsory service also
applies when you are departing the UK. You will
need to provide the Student Services team with
your full flight details in advance of your arrival
or departure date.
Student suppotFom aival to gaduation

our courses and the wide range of universities
that you can progress to. They will gladly answer
any questions and assist you with your application.

INTOs regional office network means you can be
sure to speak with someone in your country with
in-depth knowledge of the study opportunities
available to you. Representatives from the Centre
regularly travel overseas, providing you with
an opportunity to discuss your study plan with
someone from the institution face-to-face.

Once you have all the information you need, youll

experienced customer relations advisers will ensure

visa for entry to the UK.
For further information on our application
processes, see page 70.
Students who ae unde the age o 18
Before the Centre accepts a student younger than
18 years of age, parents must sign a consent form
authorising our staff to act in loco parentis (on
behalf of the parent) in the case of an emergency.
Parents are also required to complete a medical
information form. Relevant forms will be sent
to parents and the student with confirmation
documents. No student will be accepted at the
Centre without completing and returning these
forms before the start of the course.
The Centre also recommends that parents
appoint a UK-based guardian for international
students under 18. If your parents are making their
own arrangements for guardianship services, or
for a friend or family member to act as a guardian,
evidence of these arrangements must be supplied
before the course starts. A copy of our policy on
younger students is available on request.
Yu juey e UK
Once you have accepted your offer, you can begin
planning your arrival in the UK.

You will receive a pre-departure guide containing
practical information which will help you prepare

enrolling on your course of study at the Centre. The
pre-departure guide is also available as a mobile app

Throughout your studies they offer a range

receive your timetable and select your modules
for academic programmes, where appropriate. A
tour will introduce you to your new home including
the INTO Centre, the nearby city centre, and public
transport and amenities. It will also include social
activities, which are a great way to meet new
friends and explore the city of Manchester.
o-gg upp
Social activity pogamme
While the main reason for coming to Manchester
is to study, involvement in non-academic activities
is also important to help you adjust to life in the
UK and develop a network of friends. The city of
Manchester offers a wide variety of options for
socialising, experiencing the arts or taking part
in sports. We also organise a regular programme
of activities designed to help you make the most
of your time in the UK. The programme includes
trips to places of interest in Manchester and other
parts of the UK, as well as visits to the theatre
and cinema.
Full day excursions cost between 1540 per
person, depending on the activity. Other social
programme activities are charged at variable rates
ranging from free to 25 per person.
24-hou suppot
The Centre is dedicated to ensuring that you
feel totally safe and supported. Upon arrival, all
students are issued with an emergency telephone
number which can be used to contact Centre staff
outside of office hours in the unlikely event of an
emergency or urgent situation. Within the halls
of residence, 24-hour support is provided by our
Residential tutors.

Student attendance monitoing
Good attendance is key to success. INTOManchester expects all students to attend
all academic sessions.
Student attendance is monitored carefully and
where attendance is not satisfactory, our student
progress team will provide additional support to
ensure that you can succeed in your studies. The
Centre has an additional obligation to report to the
UK Border Agency (UKBA) any changes that may
affect the terms of an international students visa,
including an international students absence from
the programme.
Suppot o students with disabilities
A confidential service for students is available
offering advice and information on a range of
disabilities including dyslexia, sensory impairments,
and mobility and medical conditions.
For further details please contact the Student
Services team.
The most important thing I have learned overthe years is that a genuine smile is the simplest
way to put someone at ease, make them eel
sae and help them to eel more condent
in their communication. All o my team have
travelled, have children or know how much
their own parents have worried about them in
the past, we can empathise with the students

A lot more sel-study was required
at INTO Manchester but whenever
you had a problem you could ask
the teachers and they would
answer you directly. They went
out o their way even with things
that werent about your studies.
For example, when I wanted
to apply or a scholarship my
teacher really helped me with the
application orms and wrote
a reerence or me.

The International Foundation programme offers
direct entry to the first year of over 2,500
undergraduate degrees at a wide range of leading
UK universities, including degrees in popularareas such as accounting and finance, business,
computing, economics, finance, international
relations, law, logistics, management, mathematics,
media, product design, psychology, science and
most branches of engineering.
During my Foundation programme
I studied Maths, Politics and
Economics. I think the basics were
covered well during my time at
INTO Manchester. Even the basics
o Excel we learned are now
coming in quite handy.
Without the basics, my Economics
lecturers at the University wouldnt
really make sense. Without the
help o INTO Manchester I probably
wouldnt have done so well. The
teachers did a good job!
