The Office of International Affairs is here to help you settle, survive, and succeed. From your arrival to graduation, we support your academic, social, and personal wellbeing.
How We Support You
- Guidance from application to admission

- Advice on immigration and study permits
- Support with medical aid matters
- Cultural integration and social activities
- Connection through the UL International Students Organisation (ULISO)
ULISO represents all international students and works closely with OIA to ensure your voice is heard. You are encouraged to participate and even stand for leadership.
