Support for international students

Introduction

Main

Making the decision to study abroad is a big step for all potential international students. If you’re thinking about studying in Australia, we want to assure you that international students are always welcomed and supported at the University of Canberra.

We have a dedicated International Student Support Service (ISSS), which is the first point of contact for all international students at UC. They’re the team responsible for providing international students with advice and assistance, coordinating activities on campus and around Canberra, and helping you adapt to your new life in Australia.

Our ISSS team is made up of experienced International Student Advisers (ISAs) who provide guidance and information on all aspects of university life and living in Australia. They can also help you with questions related to your student visa, such as varying your study load, extending your studies in Australia or putting your studies on hold.

ISSS can also provide you with referrals to other support services, including:

  • our Student Wellbeing team, who can deliver advice on everything from financial difficulties and study apprehensions to personal and health concerns
  • our Medical and Counselling Centre for free, confidential appointments with qualified psychologists and psychiatrists
  • pre-arrival assistance for Australia Awards scholarship students
  • our Campus Services team for reassurance on how to stay safe on campus
  • our Inclusion and Engagement team for students with disability or an ongoing health condition
  • our Study Skills team for face-to-face and online study help.
