Our pre-arrival webinar series for international students is designed to prepare you for your upcoming journey to ICD. You can find out some of what we discuss in these webinars below and how to join them.
In these live sessions, your key staff contacts, as well as current international students, will provide you with guidance and advice as a newly-admitted international student.
