Foreign nationals from certain countries are required to register with the Visitors Registration Department at Parkside Police Station in Cambridge. If your visa states 'register with the police', this should be done within seven working days of arrival in the United Kingdom.  Failure to register is a criminal offence and could result in your removal.  For further information please check the University's information regarding Police Registration.

The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) promotes and protects the needs of international students in the UK.

Working with partners in the UK, the British Council helps to share British expertise and talent with over 100 countries worldwide.
