Each year, we warmly welcome thousands of students from across the globe, drawn by our world-class education, rich heritage, vibrant multicultural life, and lower living costs compared to other major UK cities.
By studying alongside domestic students, international students bring diverse perspectives to our lecture halls, labs, and the wider community, enriching the cultural and intellectual life of both the university and the city. This global exchange of ideas and experiences enhances the educational environment on campus and prepares all students to thrive in an interconnected world.
