Over the past 18 months, The Students Visa has successfully facilitated the enrolment of over 60 Sri Lankan students at De Montfort University and De Montfort University International College.

The event underscored the growing Sri Lankan student community in Leicester and highlighted the transformative impact of international education on students’ lives. Students shared their experiences, emphasising the invaluable support provided by The Students Visa in ensuring a seamless transition to their academic pursuits in the UK.

Reflecting on the event, a first-year student at De Montfort University Vihanga Karunarathne shared, “It was an incredible experience to connect with so many fellow Sri Lankan students in Leicester. The sense of community we have built makes this place feel like home. I deeply appreciate The Students Visa for taking the initiative to unite and support us throughout our journey.”

Another attendee, Thisuri, expressed her gratitude, stating, “This event exceeded all our expectations. The effort The Students Visa puts into fostering a strong student network even after enrolment is commendable. Feeling this level of connection and support means a great deal.”
