British Council China will deliver 10 Pre-departure briefing (PDB) sessions in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Dalian and Shenzhen in June and July 2012.
The briefing sessions are open to all students in China who will depart for the UK for autumn enrolment in 2012. Detailed information about visa application, study, accommodations, financial arrangements, food and diets, transportation, telecommunication and key cultural differences will be introduced to the students and their parents.
Newly returned alumni will be invited to the briefing sessions to share their inspiring experience of studying and living in the UK. Our colleagues at the UK Border Agency will also be invited to selected sessions to provide the most up-to-date information about PBS Tier 4 student visa applications.
