Bristol is a great place to study. In my free time, I like to go out with my friends and visit the city centre. We also like to relax at the University’s excellent Students’ Union.

My first impression was that everyone on the campus was extremely friendly. It was very comforting to come from somewhere so far away and just feel very welcomed.

At UWE Bristol, we offer an excellent experience for students from around the world, within a vibrant, healthy and sustainable learning environment. Your student experience and preparation for life after graduation are our top priorities.
