University welcomes international students

New international arrivals to the University recently attended an evening reception hosted by the Student Advisory Service to learn about Dundee and meet new people.

In response to the Scottish Executive's scheme designed to encourage students from overseas to stay and work in Scotland once their studies are completed, the University is keen to introduce their new international students to the local community as early as possible.

Irene Donaldson, Head of the Student Advisory Service, said she was pleased so many interested parties attended the event to promote the various types of support and services that are available to international students during their time in Dundee.

"We have students coming to the University from all over the world and we try to do everything we can to make them feel at home here in Dundee," she said.

"The fact that we receive such excellent support from the local community is a real boost."
