Description

We want to create a society tailored for students from the Durham University International Study Centre (ISC) located at the Queen Campus. Some students in the ISC may not relate to the Durham campus but this society will help them to be more involved in activities taking place in Durham. Also, there has not been any club or society that belongs/ has any connection with the ISC. Another aim would be to build a strong connection between our progressed students and the foundation year students. We will also provide academic, welfare, and social support to the International Study Centre students and to our progressed students at Durham University. Organising and monitoring mentorship schemes for the students to help their progression and to discuss their goals will be another activity we will conduct. Organising social events and meetings with International Study Centre tutors and staff members here at Durham University will be one of our aims. We will also be improving teaching and learning at the International Study Centre by receiving suggestions and feedback from our progressed students. Our society will also be organising Durham University’s departments and colleges tours/visits and organising taster lectures for the foundation year students.
