International Peer Support

Moving to a new country, adapting to a new culture, and adjusting to university life can be overwhelming. That's why we created Culture & Connect, a peer support network for international studentsCulture & Connect is ran by a diverse group of international students who understand your journey and are eager to help you settle into Birmingham.

Whether you’re looking for guidance, friendship or just a place to be understood, we are here for you.
