International Students Support Cell

Pre-arrival support:

SRIHER has a student’s manual which is available online, or sent by mail once the students have been offered an admission which contains useful information about preparing for studying abroad and what to expect when they arrive in the new environment.

This guide covers topics such as accommodation options, arranging medical insurance, tuition fee payments, visa requirements, budgeting for living expenses, and advice on what to bring along.

There is a lot of information about the university, including important online resources, administrative departments, hospital information, sports center and campus facilities and so on, that it’s all a bit less unknown when the students arrive for the first time.

We are introducing student mentoring schemes that start before students’ arrival. This means future students are matched up with current students, who then communicate, usually via email or phone (whatsapp) in the months leading up to the start of the course. The idea is to ensure that international students feel welcomed into the student community before they even arrive, and know that there will be at least one friendly face waiting to greet them.


Orientation programs Support:

The first few weeks of being an international student are likely to be the most obviously overwhelming. There’s so much to take in, so many new places and people, and it can take a while to settle in.

SRIHER International Relations Office suggests them to arrive few days earlier than the rest of the student body, to give them a chance to get settled and acclimatized before the eventful really begins!

This time is usually filled with an international student orientation program, designed to provide practical support and information, and also to encourage international students to get to know one another.

SRIHER International Student Support Cell team is here to help the students on number of other concerns as well.
