LIBT London IBT Pre-departure Guide 2013

London: the world in one city

London is one of the world’s most dynamic and exciting cities. As the UK’s capital city it boasts a mix of tradition, unique characteristics, history, modern engineering and a multicultural population. These traits are apparent throughout the city in many historic and famous landmarks such as The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye. The city’s diverse range of cultures and numerous attractions have led to it having the third highest number of international visitors in the world.

London

And in such a culturally diverse city you can be sure to find restaurants to suit every taste. You can also enjoy day trips to see other parts of England, such as the Brighton coast, Windsor Castle or the historical cities of Oxford and Cambridge. As the gateway to Europe, from London you can even travel by train to Paris or Brussels in just two hours.

Uxbridge: a charming London community

LIBT and Brunel University are located in Uxbridge in west London. Uxbridge is located 30 minutes from Central London by overland train or 50 minutes on the London Underground. Students in Uxbridge therefore have access to the best of both worlds: the dynamic buzz of the capital and the peaceful countryside of nearby Windsor or Oxford. Uxbridge is only four miles from Heathrow, the world’s busiest airport by number of international passengers, so a mini-break to mainland Europe or a trip home are never far away.

Career opportunities

London is the heart of the UK’s financial, commercial and creative sectors. It is therefore the ideal place for you to gain some professional experience while studying. Thousands of businesses in the London area welcome international students through work placements and internships, and these opportunities which will give you a practical advantage when pursuing your future career.

Climate

London’s seasons change gradually, with winter from December to February and summer from June to August. Although August is usually the hottest time of the year and temperatures can reach 30°C, the average high is about 24°C and the average low is around 14°C. In recent winters it has been cold enough to snow in London, so it might be a good idea to bring some extra boots, gloves, hats and scarves.
Work placements and job opportunities are also widely available with international organisations that are based in or around Uxbridge. Previous Brunel students have gone on to intern and even work for these locally based companies, which include Apple UK, Coca-Cola, Parexel, Xerox, Hasbro and GlaxoSmithKline.
The LIBT campus is just a 20 minute walk or short bus ride from the cobblestone streets of Uxbridge town centre. The town is packed with over 300 shops, a multiplex cinema and dozens of restaurants, bars and cafes. If you are looking for something a little more peaceful, you can make your way to one of the waterfront pubs, take a stroll along a canal or visit the nearby Colne Valley regional park. As one of the largest natural parks in London, it includes miles of woods and walkways, as well as lakes, rivers and nature reserves.

Things to see and do

London is packed full of exciting things to do and places to explore. The city offers something for everyone and for interests as diverse as theatre, shopping, ballet, opera, history and art. World famous
Spring attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the National Gallery and Westminster Abbey are amongst many spots of interest for tourists, students and local residents. Shopping is hugely popular within the city and Oxford Street offers a great variety of high street and designer shops including the world renowned store Selfridges. Harrods department store and Hamleys amongst many others can also be found just a few streets away.

  • Important documents
  • Packing your things

You should bring the following documents with you to the UK as they will be required throughout various stages of your stay.
Student dress codes in the UK are casual. The general rule is to wear something in which you feel comfortable. Most students wear jeans and trainers to lectures.
It may be a good idea to bring some personal items (basic toiletries: toothbrush, soap, towel, etc.) so that you do not need to go shopping as soon as you arrive. If you are struggling to get your suitcase within the luggage limits or forget anything, much of what you may need can be bought in London.
• A valid passport and student visa • At least four passport sized photographs*
Medium weight clothing such as sweatshirts are appropriate throughout the year but t-shirts are more useful for the summer. Warmer clothing and footwear including rainwear is needed for winter. It is
• Your unconditional Offer of Admission • Your CAS Statement • Your Acceptance of Admission Form (completed) recommended that you have a light waterproof jacket for all the year. Summers can be quite warm but it is advisable to have warmer clothing just in case, as the UK does
If you need glasses or contact lenses, we also advise that you bring a spare pair and a current optical prescription, as these items are expensive in the UK.
• Certified originals of your academic transcripts (including evidence of English proficiency)
• Personal identification (eg. driver’s licence, birth certificate, etc)

• Any medical prescriptions/certificates/ history/reports
• Full details and evidence of your accommodation in the UK, for example a tenancy agreement
• Evidence of funds — a letter confirming personal or family resources, or confirmation of sponsorship

• Proof of your address in your home country

• Contact numbers for any family/friends in the UK
• Contact details of family/friends in the event of an emergency

• If you are under 18, your guardian details. The guardian must be resident in the UK and appointed by your parent.

* It is useful to bring a number of small (passport-sized) full-face photographs, as these are often required for various cards (such as student rail cards) and for police registration (if required); they must be standard UK passport size, with white or pale grey coloured background, and include the whole head and shoulders. Photographs can be obtained in the UK, but may be more expensive than in your home country.

    Underground Diary

    UNDERGROUND DIARY AUGUST 2009 On Saturday 1 August, an unattended item in a cross-passage between the Piccadilly Line platforms at King’s Cross suspended services between Hyde Park Corner and Arnos Grove from 12.05 for 40 minutes. A signal failure at Heathrow Terminal 5 began at 21.10 but had little effect on the service. However, a total failure at 23.20 suspended services between T123 and T5 through to the end of traffic. There was nothing untoward to note for Sunday 2 August. Monday 3 August may be summarised as follows: A Metropolitan Line train from Neasden depot accepted a wrong signal and ended up in the northbound Jubilee Line platform at Wembley Park at 06.10, the train then being returned to depot. A ‘bridge bash’ between Gunnersbury and Kew Gardens suspended the Richmond branch of the District Line from 12.00 to 12.45. Metropolitan Line service to the City suspended 15.15 to 16.05 – signal failure at Farringdon. A multiple signal failure between Hammersmith and Barons Court suspended the Piccadilly Line between Acton Town and Hyde Park Corner from 18.05 to 18.40. A northbound Victoria Line train stalled in Victoria platform at 10.00 on Tuesday 4 August, suspending services south of Warren Street. The offending train was reversed back to Victoria sidings and services resumed at 10.25. The service south of Warren Street was again suspended from 10.45 because of a person under a northbound train at Victoria. The passengers on the train stalled approaching Victoria were walked forward to the station and were clear by 12.00.

    UNDERGROUND DIARY JANUARY 2018 With Monday 1 January already covered in the previous issue, we begin with Tuesday 2 January. At 23.35 the Bakerloo Line was suspended north of Queen’s Park because of items blown onto the track by the high winds south of Kensal Green – a metal obstruction and a tarpaulin under a southbound train. The service remained suspended until the end of traffic. A loss of all point indications in Morden Depot from 22.10 initially resulted in a 35-minute suspension south of Tooting Broadway, with delays continuing until the end of traffic following points being secured and restricted access to the depot, the last being 30 minutes late stabling, with several trains stabled elsewhere. The strong winds continued early on Wednesday 3 January. A tree blown onto the track from a private property on the approach to Ickenham was struck by the first eastbound Metropolitan Line train, suspending services on the Uxbridge line. The first eastbound Piccadilly Line train from Uxbridge, which follows the first Metropolitan Line train, was stalled to the rear until 06.20. Once cleared, services resumed at 06.55. The train was damaged in the incident but not seriously enough to prevent it being worked in service to Harrow, where it was detrained and worked empty to Neasden Depot. In the meanwhile, nine Northern Line trains were cancelled from Morden Depot because of stock imbalance (q.v.). An air burst on a southbound train at Kenton at 23.35 suspended the Bakerloo Line north of Stonebridge Park until the end of traffic.
