Thinking About Studying in the UK?


Despite the recent wide scale rioting, the UK has a reputation as a country that welcomes visitors from around the world and is a multicultural society. In the places where universities are located, you will find that international students are very welcome, and well represented. If you walk around the shopping areas of any British city you will see people from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds; you will see shops selling a wide range of foods and goods from all over the world and restaurants from many cultural traditions (Chinese and Indian food, for example, are very popular in the UK). All major cities will have a mosque, a Gurdawara and a synagogue as well as Christian churches.


Incidents of ethnic-related crime or abuse are relatively rare in comparison to many other countries, and every university will provide clear guidance if there are localities or particular sorts of behaviour in the city which should be avoided.


All this means that not only will you feel that you are welcome yourself,

but also you that you have a real opportunity to get to know not just British culture, but also the wide range of other cultures that are found in the UK today


In 2009-10 there were 406,000 international students studying in the UK. This figures was up 10% on the previous. Approximately 204,000 international students


studying at postgraduate level in the UK. This number has been growing steadily for more than thirty years.


nternational students literally come from all over the world, with virtually every country being represented in the postgraduate university community. Most of the students come from a relatively small number of countries.
