Everything Indian Students Must Know About the 2025 British Council Study UK Pre Departure Briefing

10 July 2025

If you have been selected by a UK university for your next academic term, there is an event that you cannot afford to miss. The British Council is holding a Study UK Pre-Departure Briefing on 29 July 2025 from 3 pm to 5 pm IST specifically for Indian students traveling to the United Kingdom. This is not just an orientation — this is a hands-on, practical session that will guide students through the stages involved in getting to the UK before they even get there.

BCES Admissions Abroad would like to invite all students who plan to fly out to the UK to this briefing. Why? Because the two-hour briefing is full of practical information about student life, accommodation advice, travel advice, visa rules, health issues, UK banking, and even cultural advice. Whether you’re a first-time flier or a seasoned international flier, this session de-stresses and provides you with realistic expectations for life overseas.

The second highlight of the briefing is also meeting other students with whom you will be sharing experiences in the UK, and this can be just the start of intense and sustained friendships and support networks even before taking a plane. Students also have the chance to hear directly from alumni and UK university contacts regarding their experiences — one of the most insightful and reassuring moments in your study abroad experience.
