On 22nd August 2026, MSSM hosted our Virtual Pre-Departure Session to welcome our incoming freshers and equip them with everything they need for the big move to Manchester!
We kicked off with an introduction to MSSM, sharing our mission to support and connect the Malaysian student community here.
Next, we covered the essentials:
- Pre-Arrival Checklist: Guidance on booking flights, securing accommodation, and preparing vital documents.
- Settling In: Practical tips on navigating UK transport, setting up bank accounts, grocery shopping, and exploring local food spots.
We also gave everyone a sneak peek at our upcoming events—the perfect chance for freshers to connect and make new friends as they start this exciting chapter.
A big thank you to our generous sponsors and affiliates for making this session possible. We wrapped up the event with a quick virtual group photo! Welcome to Manchester, freshers! 📸✨
