Who are UKCISA?

At UKCISA, we understand the unique challenges that international students face when studying in a foreign country. That's why we provide a wide range of services to help students adapt to life in the UK. Our services include guidance on visas and immigration, advice on funding and finance, and support with healthcare and accommodation.

We also work closely with universities and colleges across the UK to promote good practice in international student support. We provide training and development opportunities for staff, helping them to better understand the needs of international students and to provide the best possible support.

We are committed to ensuring that international students feel welcome, supported, and valued during their time in the UK. Our mission is to promote excellence in international student support and to make the UK a great place to study for students from all over the world. So whether you are a student, a member of staff, or an institution, UKCISA is here to help you.
