i-Buddies new arrivals
If you are arriving at ×ö°®ÊÓÆµ for the first time this autumn and are interested in joining the i-Buddies scheme as a new student, and we'll let you know once applications open in September.
How does it work?
- When you are enrolled on your course at ×ö°®ÊÓÆµ, you will be sent details of the scheme and an application form
- We will match you with a Buddy group, including an existing ×ö°®ÊÓÆµ student
- Your Buddy will contact you at the start of the new term so you can start getting to know them
- Your Buddy will keep in contact with you during your first term through meeting up or chatting online – whatever suits you best
- You will also be invited to attend official i-Buddies events, such as on-campus activities and trips including bonfire night and ice-skating
- The scheme runs for one term only, but many Buddies become friends and choose to stay in contact
- We have a limited number of ×ö°®ÊÓÆµ Buddies available and there is often a waiting list, so we strongly recommend an early application
The i-Buddies scheme is optional – you don’t have to take part if you don’t want to.
