This list of questions has been put together to try and answer any queries you may have before the new term starts in September.
As part of our ‘Registration' process, which runs during the summer months, current students and applicants will receive a survey asking you about your needs so we can find out whether they’re financial, academic, equipment-based, wellbeing-related, linked to disability support, or a combination of these. We anticipate you'll have many questions for us, so we do invite and encourage your feedback.

CAN ICMP HELP ME FIND STUDENT ACCOMMODATION?
We have created a helpful Accommodation Guide which is regularly updated with useful contacts, tips and guidance on finding accommodation.
Once students have received an offer on a course, they will also be able to request access to The ICMP House Hunting Forum on Facebook, where they can meet up to find house-sharing/hunting opportunities. The forum is very active and is the primary place where ICMP students seek accommodation, advertise available rooms and search for housemates.
Towards the start of the academic year, we also organise dedicated Accommodation Days for students who are relocating to meet each other and find out more about student accommodation options.
HOW CAN I MEET STUDENTS ON OTHER COURSES?
Your ICMP Experience starts with our legendary Freshers Week. As always, we've got an action packed week lined up for you, offering the perfect opportunity to meet each other, watch live music, get on stage and so much more. The week kicks off with our popular Meet and Greet event. Full Freshers details will be released over the coming months, but here's a sneak peak at the line-up.
On our ICMPLife Facebook channel you'll also find a group dedicated to Freshers, this is another great place to meet each other and on there you'll also find details of various group chats that have already started.
Throughout the academic year we also hold a wide range of events for students, some of which are dedicated to student networking. These events are open to all students and we often see some Alumni in attendance too, so they're a prime opportunity for you to make new friends and also build your professional network.
