We are very pleased to welcome you into our academic community and we wish you a happy and successful time with us. The programme is designed to help you settle in to Staffordshire and make a positive start to your life as student here at Staffordshire University. Our International Welcome and Orientation programme will begin on Thursday 16th January 2020.

In the event of any change to the advertised format, we will do everything possible to communicate the changes in the most appropriate and timely way including putting a notice on the International Student Support Website.

Even though you might be starting your university career away from campus or at a different point in the year, we're still here to help you get started. 

With distance learning course routes often starting at different points throughout the academic year, you'll typically recieve a personal welcome and induction schedule from your course leaders. Once you've enrolled, keep checking your student email for information of any upcoming news and events that may be occuring.

Congratulations, you’re now an apprentice at Staffordshire University. Before you start your journey to success, here’s a bit of information to give you a taster of what to expect of life at our University.

As an apprentice, every day will be different - you’ll have the unique opportunity to learn in varied environments, giving you both the practical and theoretical knowledge to become an expert in your field. Typically, your time will be split between studying here on campus with us, logging in remotely via Blackboard (our virtual learning environment), and experiencing paid-work with your employers.

There’s so much more to an apprenticeship than work life and studying. Our campuses are friendly, lively places with lots to offer, including sporting facilities and social spaces.
