Intlgrate: wellbeing and belonging for international students in the UK

Wellbeing & belonging for international students in the UK

A companion for every step of your UK journey

Our story

Moving countriesto study is brave. No one should have to do italone.

Studying abroad brings excitement and opportunity. It can also bring isolation, pressure and uncertainty that students carry quietly, often without knowing where to turn.

FIG 01 — The scale

23.9%

of students in UK higher education in 2024/25 were international: around 685,000 people.¹

FIG 02 — The gap

High need, low use

International students report elevated psychological distress, yet their use of mental health services tends to be low.²

FIG 03 — The design flaw

Surface-deep

Cultural adaptation of mental health apps often relies on superficial adjustments rather than being built in from the start.³

Student wellbeing

01 / 05

01 — Student wellbeing

Notice how you're doing, before it becomes heavy.

Homesickness, study pressure, money worries and loneliness rarely arrive one at a time. Thirty-second check-ins and private reflections help you see your own patterns and act early.

Mood, stress and sleep check-ins with gentle trends
Private reflections that no one else can read
University services, NHS 111 and Samaritans always one tap away

02 — AI wellbeing companion

Someone to talk to, in a way that feels familiar.

A culturally sensitive companion that listens without judgement at any hour, in the language you think in. It helps you untangle a worry or plan a next step, and is honest that it is not a therapist.

Every message screened for crisis language first
Immediate routes to 999, NHS 111, Samaritans and Shout
Conversations stay private: universities never see them

How the companion works

03 — Cultural integration

The big changes, and the hundred small ones.

Plain-language guides to university life and British culture that explain the unwritten rules rather than tell you who to be, ordered into a step-by-step settling-in journey.

Registering with a GP, banking, council tax
Seminars, referencing and academic expectations
Small talk, indirect communication and humour

Interest, faith and arrival-city groups
Events and questions you'd rather not ask in a seminar
Human moderation and a name you choose

How community works
