With more than 400,000 students it’s also famous for its universities, attracting more than 100,000 international students each year, more than 23,000 of whom attend University College London (UCL) alone, making it the most popular UK university for students from abroad.

London is a thoroughly international and diverse city, meaning that you’ll never feel alone no matter where you are from. This also means that it’s a melting pot of culture and cuisine in ways that no other UK city can quite compare. With more than 40 higher education institutions across the city and several internationally significant libraries and museums, it’s an important international centre for learning and research.

You’ll also never get bored of life in London, with so many things to see and do, including more than 7000 bars and pubs, 5000 restaurants and more than 350 music venues meaning that it’s the perfect place to sample the best of the UK’s nightlife. And as London is one of the most important business cities in the world, there’s no surprise that it offers more post graduate job opportunities than anywhere else in the country.

Why study in the United Kingdom?

The UK has an excellent reputation for student life and high quality education.

It is home to some of the oldest, and best universities in the world. Many are renowned for their leading academics, as well as expertise when it comes to research. Students are recognised for their leading knowledge and the high-quality of their qualifications, which sets them apart.

 

This is due to the focus in the UK on small-group teaching, investment and attracting leading academics to work in UK universities.

 

The student life offered in the UK is also diverse. Cities such as London and Manchester offer great nightlife, music and cultural pursuits. Outstanding areas of natural beauty, including the Scottish Highlands and Derbyshire’s Peak District, are home to stunning scenery to hike and walk.

 

With such an amazing offering for international students, it’s not hard to see why the UK is such a popular destination.
