United Kingdom Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA)
UKCISA promotes and protects the needs of international students in the UK. They offer advice and guidance on many of the issues facing international students including immigration, finance and fees, accommodation and travelling when studying. They keep up-to-date with current legislation and regulations to ensure they can advise students accurately.
UKCISA has also developed an online learning service called Prepare for Success, an interactive web learning tool for international students who are getting ready to come to the UK for study in higher education. It contains learning resources which are activity-based to help you find out about different aspects of academic life in the UK and the skills needed for effective study. Whilst some of the tools relate to studying at UK universities a large part of the resource is also useful for those students coming to study at a UK Conservatoire www.prepareforsuccess.org.uk.
