It's not all work!

You may come to CNWL to get a qualification or further your career, but the social aspect of college is important too and studying here provides a great opportunity to make new friends from all kinds of backgrounds. As a member of the Students' Union you can join in with a whole range of activities and events - a full list is provided in the Student Handbook which you will receive when you enrol.

International Students Programme of Events

We recognise that it can be particularly challenging to get to know people and places in a new country, so we put on a series of events throughout the academic year specifically for Intenational students, providing opportunities to visit some of the best sights London has to offer, get together with other students from around the world, and settle into life at CNWL.

• International Students Welcome Meeting / Social 
• Theatre trip 
• London Tourist Attractions Trip
• Tower of London Visit
• London Eye and Thames River Cruise
• Museum Visit
• Ice Skating at Alexandra Palace
• Houses of Parliament Visit
• Visa Workshop
• Theme Park Trips 

Student Profile: Anton Peris, Sri Lanka

Still the youngest International student since he arrived at the College aged 17, diplomat’s son Anton Peris, 19, is a familiar face at the Wembley Park campus.

He completed the one-year DIDA (Diploma in Digital Applications) in 2007 and is now in the second year of his two-year BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners (IT & Business).

Fluent in English, basketball and hip-hop dancing, he leads and choreographs his own CNWL-based street dance group Fusionaticz. It attracts rapturous applause when it performs at College events, and was a runner-up at the Brent Oscars – a new borough awards ceremony held in Wembley.
