Overview of the programme:
Crafts & Games:
Join our Ambassadors and fellow students each week for a fun session of arts and crafts or choose from a selection of board games.
Culture Compass:
An opportunity for students from around the world to come together and learn how we can communicate more effectively across cultures. The sessions are facilitated by Global Campus Coordinator Mubeenah Waheed and Global Campus Ambassadors.
Local History Walks:
Develop a greater sense of belonging to your new home city on these walking tours led by logical 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!
Let’s Dance!
Get active and have fun with weekly dance sessions in which one of our Ambassadors will take you through trending choreographed routines. An excellent space to let off some steam, make new friends and have a great time!
