Your Arriving

When to arrive in the UK...

 

We recommend that you to arrive one week before your course is scheduled to start. This gives you sufficient time to know your way around, and settle into life in London. If you have a choice of date, try to come on a weekday, so if you encounter any problems we are available to help.


If you anticipate a late arrival please tell us by fax or email when we can expect you. However, College regulations state that we are only able to accept students up to one week after the start of lectures, which means that you should be in a position to commence your studies by the second Monday after the date of registration.


If you know that you will not be here in time, you may wish to delay your journey until close to the next start date. Once you have booked your flight you can go ahead and reserve your accommodation. Transfer from the airport to your accommodation. There are various ways to find your way from the airport into London.

 

Student Accomodation


If you are arriving late at night or early in the morning or you would like the easiest option, you can order a taxi in advance. If you would like us to arrange this service, (which will cost approximately £65) please use the booking form in the Arrival Pack (which will be sent to you upon registration).


Reporting to LCBM


You should report to the college reception for registration at 10am on the day stated in your letter of enrolment. It is important that you bring the following with you:

 

  • Your letter of enrolment or Visa Application Document

  • Your passport (if you are a non-EU national)
  • Your address (with postcode) and telephone number in the UK

You will then see the Examinations Officer who will explain academic matters, as well as issue you with a LCBM Induction Pack. Please take the time to read it carefully as it contains a large amount of useful information for your course, and life in London.
