Dear Students,

Welcome to a new chapter of your academic journey with De Montfort University at SISFU! As you stand on the threshold of this transformative year, I urge you to approach it with courage and conviction. This is not just another year; it is the beginning of a remarkable adventure that will shape your future and define who you are. De Montfort University is a leader in global education and together with SISFU creates incredible opportunities for international mobility, exchange, and collaboration that is unique, exciting, and yours for the taking.

During this year, you will be challenged. Adapting to the UK Higher Education system’s approach to teaching and learning, academic rigour, and college life will not be easy. The trials you will face are not mere obstacles; they are opportunities to grow, to learn, and to become the leaders you are destined to be. Embrace them with an open heart and an unwavering spirit. Remember, it is through the fire that steel is forged, and it is through challenges that character is built.

You are here not by chance, but by choice—a choice to excel, to push boundaries, and to surpass your own expectations. We, your mentors and guides, stand ready to support you every step of the way. But the journey is yours to embark on, with all its triumphs and tribulations.

As you navigate the path ahead, let passion be your compass, and perseverance your mantra. Together, we will create a legacy of excellence that will resonate far beyond these walls as your journey inevitably takes you to new heights.

Welcome, once again, to this extraordinary journey at SISFU for Academic Year 2024-2025.

Yours in learning!
