Chinese New Year, also called Lunar New Year, is an annual 7-day festival in China and Chinese communities around the world that begins with the new moon that occurs sometime between January 21 and February 20 according to Western calendars.
Festivities last until the following full moon. SI-UK has recruited and sent hundreds of Chinese students in the past 10 years. This year we'd like to celebrate Chinese New Year with the international student population in the UK.
Come celebrate at the SI-UK London office. Socialise with other Chinese students currently studying in the UK and network with our team! It'll be a casual and fun evening of celebration and music.
Food, drinks and dumplings will be provided by SI-UK there might even be a game or two. We are excited to be able to welcome you to the event! Don't forget to come with your friends! Entry is free but you just have to make sure to register online beforehand.

Attending an SI-UK event allows you to meet UK universities in one location, ask questions directly to university representatives, network with other students, and participate in seminars and workshops hosted by university lecturers.
- Before attending the event, research the institutions that are attending.
- Bring copies of your academic transcripts, test scores (if applicable), and any other relevant documents.
- Inquire about specific courses, entry requirements, scholarship opportunities, accommodation options, and support services for international students.
- Jot down important information during your conversations with university representatives.
- Collect contact information from the representatives you meet and follow up with any additional questions or inquiries you may have after the event.
- What are the entry requirements for the course(s) I'm interested in?
- Are there any scholarships or financial aid options available for international students?
- What support services are available for international students, such as accommodation assistance, academic advising, and counseling?

Attendance at SI-UK events is free for prospective international students.
Preparing for a university visit is essential to maximise your time there. Some things you should do include:
- Research the university and your favourite courses in advance.
- Prepare a list of questions to ask.
- Bring copies of your academic documents and any other relevant materials.
- Dress appropriately and professionally.
- Take notes during your visit to remember important details later.
Scholarship Support
Scholarships provide financial assistance to international students who may not have access to the same resources as domestic students. Tuition fees for international students are higher, and the expense of travelling the world to study at a UK university can offset the financial burden of studying abroad by providing vital financial support.
If you are looking for a scholarship, grant, or bursary to help fund your studies in the UK, the SI-UK team and selected UK universities can assist you with what you are eligible for.
Supporting Documents
When attending a UK university open day as an international student, you must bring along several supporting documents to ensure you have all the necessary information and materials. We recommend that you bring:
- Academic Transcripts: Please provide copies of your high school transcripts and any previous academic qualifications, such as diplomas or certificates.
- English Language Proficiency Certificate: If English is not your first language and you've taken an English proficiency test (such as IELTS or TOEFL), bring a copy of your test results.
- Passport: Your valid passport or any other form of identification.
- Visa Documents: If you already have a student visa or have applied for one, bring copies of relevant visa documents or confirmation of visa application.
- Resume/CV: Please include a copy of your resume or curriculum vitae (CV) detailing your educational background, work experience, extracurricular activities, and any other relevant achievements.
- Portfolio (if applicable): If you're applying for a creative or practical course that requires a portfolio (e.g., art, design, architecture), bring samples of your work or a portfolio showcasing your skills and creativity.
- Reference Letters: Copies of reference letters from teachers, professors, or employers that support your application.
By bringing these documents, you'll be well-prepared to engage with university staff, gather relevant information, and make the most of your UK university open day experience as an international student.
