When you're an international student, knowing the "unspoken rules" of British life is just as important as your degree. Whether it’s chatting with housemates or impressing a boss, cultural differences can sometimes feel confusing.

This workshop is a relaxed, supportive space to figure out how British culture actually works. We’re skipping the boring theory and diving straight into fresh case studies and group discussions. You’ll learn how to decode conversations and professional habits that usually feel indirect or hard to read.

Key takeaways:

  • Handle Culture Shock: Learn why moving countries feels like a rollercoaster and get simple tips to find your balance.
  • Crack the "British Speak" Code: Understand what people actually mean when they’re being polite, indirect, or sarcastic.
  • Real-Life Practice: Test your skills on brand-new scenarios to get you ready for any work situation, from team meetings to daily chats.

Don’t let cultural gaps hold you back. Join our session and decode British culture! It will make your student life and your future career so much easier.
