Centre for International Development

The centre works with academic Schools and services across the University to develop international activities. These include helping students from overseas to come to the University to study and establishing partnerships with local institutions to teach courses overseas.

At the centre, we also manage the student exchange programme which allows some of our students to study some of their courses abroad and others to come here to study.

Student support on campus

Once you're here we have a whole host of support services to give you advice and help.
