A chance to connect with fellow OU students around the world! As part of Welcome Week, this event is the perfect opportunity for international students just starting their OU journey to chat to, and learn from, students in the same boat as you.

Links to join all Welcome Week events will be available in the Welcome Week chat on OU Students Connect - the chat platform for OU students - from Friday, 23 January 2026. You don't need to create an account to access this platform, you'll be redirected to log in with your OU credentials. The link to join will also be posted here on the day of the session.

Our online events are intended to be welcoming and friendly spaces. Please read our Code of Conduct before joining this session and keep this in mind when taking part.
