    International Student Welcome Drop-In - Booking not required!

    Wednesday 18th September 10am-12pm, Lawn Tent outside the Queen's Building/Graduate Centre.

    Students will have the opportunity to meet with Queen Mary staff and fellow international students. 

    Immigration Drop-ins

    The Advice and Counselling Team will continue their online immigration drop-ins (generally 12 per week). This is a 15 minute slot where we can show guidance, signpost and make a later appointment if necessary. Students can book in themselves if they have a QM email address: https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/AdviceandCounselling@qmulprod.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/ Staff can book on behalf of students who don’t have a QM address yet.

    Additionally, they will be offering an in-person drop-in every weekday afternoon at 2pm from w/c 16 September for 3 weeks. The team will have the capacity to see at least the first 4 students who arrive at ACS reception daily between 2 and 2.30pm.

    The Team's drop-ins are generally at full capacity, so students will need to try another day if the first session they try is fully booked.

    Students can continue to contact the team through their web-form: www.welfare.qmul.ac.uk/about-us/opening-times-and-contact-us/#contactus and will endeavor to respond within their service standard of 5 working days. This is usually the best way to contact them initially. We don’t advise about the Graduate Route visa but can signpost to information.

    Finally, if you have a general question about Student immigration permission, you can reach an International Student Adviser on welfare@qmul.ac.uk. If it is about a specific case, please contact them directly through our web form, as they cannot advise through a third party, including a member of staff.

    Airport Collection 

    There will be no airport collection and no QM presence at Heathrow.
