Which Way UK: Introduction

The United Kingdom has a higher education system of unparalleled variety and diversity and is chosen year on year by thousands of international students. These students receive a genuine welcome from the universities and colleges they go to because they are valued for the fresh thinking and new perspectives they bring with them from abroad.

Higher education is increasingly an international activity but you will never be lost or alone within the UK system. Wherever you go there will be international students studying there and in the wider community you will find a multi-cultural society, particularly in the big towns and cities.

Which Way UK is designed to give you lots of practical advice to help you settle in and make the most of your experiences. We hope the UK higher education system provides you with an education which will be enriching, stimulating and enjoyable.
