'Getting to the UK is easier than you think. There are many direct international flights to airports throughout the UK regions.'

A lot of international students travel to Heathrow or Gatwick in London, but your journey will be much easier if you fly to your university's nearest airport. So if you’re studying in north-west England, look for flights to Manchester Airport; or if Scotland is your final destination, try the airports in Edinburgh or Glasgow. If you can’t find a direct flight to an airport near your place of study, you could fly to Europe and make a connection to one of the other UK regional airports.

Your place of study may have arranged onward travel in the UK, and they may even meet you at the airport or train station. If not, it’s easy to sort it out for yourself – the general information desk at the airport will advise you on the best way to get to your destination. You will also find commercial information desks with offers and deals on onward UK travel.
