LEARNING AT NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY LONDON

Engage with the world, from the vantage point of a culturally diverse global city.

Two people are talking outdoors in front of a historic building. One person, with long hair, is facing the camera and smiling while the sun shines from behind. The setting appears lively and warm.

To make your move to the UK as smooth as possible we would recommend for you to tick off the following travel checklist before arriving to London

  • Check the current quarantine/COVID requirements on the Government Website
  • Ensure that you have arranged your accommodation
  • Make sure your passport is in date and bring a copy just in case
  • Complete your visa application correctly to get your visa
  • Check your luggage weight against your airline’s allowances
  • Bring original copies (and translations) of relevant certificates and examination results for College registration (if applicable)
  • Check your government’s restrictions on taking money out of the country
  • Make sure you bring with you enough prescribed medicine for the duration of your stay as you might not find them in the UK without a supporting doctor’s note

Here is also a list of useful things to bring with you to the UK:

  • Enrolment documents and accommodation details
  • Credit Card and/or British Pounds (£)
  • Insurance documents (if applicable)
  • Adaptor for non-British plugs (in the UK we use three-pin plugs and the power is 240 volts)
  • Laptop
  • Face covering, hand gel
  • Vaccination Details

Entry and Immigration to the UK
