Thank you to everyone who joined us and made these events such a success!

Spending Christmas in the UK 

Christmas is a time for tradition, festive spirit, and celebrating with loved ones. For international students, it can be a unique opportunity to experience new traditions and make special memories, even if you're far from home. While some friends may return home for the break, this quieter time can be perfect for exploring new activities and connecting with fellow students who are also staying. 

Why not check out the International Student Support advice for trips and events to ensure you have a joyful and merry Christmas? You can also join Imperial’s Christmas at South Kensington, on Thursday 11 December, for a festive afternoon.

Explore the wealth of opportunities available on the Christmas Eve in London, Christmas Day activities and Twixmas in London  webpages for great seasonal fun.

Whatever you decide to do over the vacation, please remember to take care of yourselves and stay connected. We wish you a wonderful holiday season and look forward to supporting you in the new year!
