Student Health
At UEL we encourage you to take responsibility for your own health – and use the services we provide. Our professional teams advise on a range of issues – from minor ailments to vaccinations, counselling, screening and lifestyle issues.

Registering with the Police
Some international students are required to register with the police. If you have a student visa for more than 6 months and you are required to register with the police, it will be stamped on your visa that you must register with the police. You must do this within 7 days of arrival. Further information can be found here.
