Sodiq is one of many international students who choose to study with ONCAMPUS to prepare for a degree at a leading UK university.

Sodiq passed his ONCAMPUS Undergraduate Foundation programme successfully to earn guaranteed progression onto BA (Hons) Architecture at London South Bank University.

"If I hadn’t have been a member of a society while at ONCAMPUS I wouldn’t have been able to take on the responsibility of running a society in the first year of my degree."

Sodiq took full advantage of advice from his ONCAMPUS tutors to get involved in university life. By the time he had finished his studies with ONCAMPUS, he was ready to take on a lead role at a society in year one of his degree. He believes this headstart helped him to win the election and become President of the university's Students' Union.

Access to university facilities from day one

Each ONCAMPUS centre is at the heart of the University, close to all of its facilities. You will receive a University student card, and with it you will have access to places such as the library, clubs and societies while you study your ONCAMPUS programme.

"We always felt welcome around the university and never felt like international students. And that helped us feel integrated with the university when we finally got there."

Being a member of a club and society at university is a great way to meet others and make friends you will stay in touch with for the rest of your life. For Sodiq, it meant he felt part of the university before he had even started his degree.

Do you have a similar ambition to Sodiq and want to achieve more? You can access university student life sooner when you prepare for progression to a degree at a leading UK university with ONCAMPUS.
