Our Global Campus programme runs from Monday 15 April to Friday 17 May 2024 and there are events and activities almost every day of the week.

The programme includes in-person chat and discussion sessions, as well as social events (including our weekly Global Cafe).

All our events and activities are facilitated by our team of Global Campus Ambassadors (in bright orange shirts!) and University staff who will make you feel welcome right away.

Overview of the programme

Arts and Crafts

Join our Ambassadors and fellow students each week for a fun session of arts and crafts.

Local History Walks

Develop a greater sense of belonging to your new home city on these walking tours led by local historian Dr Tim Cooper. There is a different walk each week, starting from central campus or the city centre. See the specific History Walks below.

Global Cafe

The weekly flagship event for Global Campus. Drop in at any time for free tea and coffee and an opportunity to socialise and chat with our Global Campus Ambassadors and fellow students. A great way to keep making friends throughout the year!

Chat and Games

Come along to this event to chat and play games with other students and ambassadors. Whether you want to chat about your week or the weekend ahead, or play board or card games with friends, this is an excellent space to let off some steam, make new friends and have a great time!
