INTRODUCTION GLOBAL
Global
We welcome students from all over the world, and Bristol’s vibrant, multicultural community helps to create a friendly and safe environment in which to live and study. Together with our international outlook and the worldwide impact of our research, this is what makes Bristol a truly global university.
Our international community
Of the 6,000 postgraduates studying at Bristol in 2017/18, more than a third were from outside the UK. Our Students’ Union societies will help you to meet other students and feel at home. There are more than 40 different cultural organisations that build links between students from countries across Asia, Europe, Africa and North and South America.
You will find Bristol to be a forward-looking, dynamic and innovative city. It has an international and diverse population, with 91 languages spoken and 187 countries of birth represented.
Preparing to come to Bristol Our international recruitment team offers guidance and information on our range of programmes, entry requirements and scholarships. Throughout the year, representatives from the team travel the world to meet prospective students and answer queries. Details of where we are visiting can be found at
bristol.ac.uk/international/ countries/
visits.html.
During arrivals weekend, we provide a meet-and- greet service at Heathrow and Bristol Airports. In the Richmond Building, the International Welcome Lounge is a place where you can relax and get to know your fellow students, and where advisers are on hand to answer your questions. The Student Visa Services team is here to support you from the moment you accept an offer of a place right through to graduation in securing and ensuring you comply with your UK student visa. For advice and information, please visit
bristol.ac.uk/directory/visas.
English language requirements If your first language is not English, you will need to reach a suitable standard in an approved English language test; visit
bristol.ac.uk/
pg-language-requirements. Our Centre for English Language and Foundation Studies offers intensive courses to help you improve your language skills, both in preparation for and during your studies.
Working in partnership Bristol benefits from research and teaching partnerships with universities across the world. We are part of the Russell Group of research- intensive UK universities, the Worldwide Universities Network, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, and the Coimbra group. We will continue to improve our strong record of international collaboration across our teaching and research, including the development of dual PhD awards.
Our research has far-reaching global impact. For example, findings from the School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies on the importance of civil participation in post- conflict states are widely employed from the Balkans and Afghanistan to sub-Saharan Africa. Meanwhile, geophysicists are using satellites to provide advance warning of eruptions from forgotten volcanoes around the world, thanks to Dr Juliet Biggs and colleagues in the School of Earth Sciences. And strategic animal husbandry changes developed by our researchers have been adapted for use in New Zealand, a major dairy producer with over 11,000 farms and 4.5 million cows.
