Living in Wales
We'll Take Care of You
Wales higher education offers exceptional educational support for all international students with particular regard for individual need. International students flourish in Wales as a result of our commitment to providing quality student services including English language support, study skills, cultural orientation and administrative support. We prioritise small staff-student ratios, one-to-one support and assistance and a warm, personal response to the specific requirements of international students.
Wales higher education is highly regarded for the safe, intimate and familiar environment enjoyed by all international students and has an excellent reputation for the level of personal support and social care provided. All international students are encouraged to participate in social and cultural activities, make new friends and develop relationships and contacts.
Many of the higher education institutions in Wales have dedicated international offices coordinating the support for international students and offering them contact with host families, student societies, alumni networks and international groups. All Wales higher education institutions offer quality social and cultural support to ensure that international students are well cared for and feel welcome and relaxed in the Wales social environment.
The Wales International Consortium believes that it is essential to the well-being and happiness of all our international students that they are always supported and that they are able to enjoy and develop in a welcoming and pleasant environment.
Warm and Friendly - at Home in Wales
The Wales International Consortium is committed to providing all international students with a warm, safe and friendly environment where students can relax and enjoy every aspect of the student experience, including social activities, research and academic discussion.
We are proud to support the cultural diversity that our international students bring to Wales and encourage all our students to contribute to the dynamic, cosmopolitan environment of Wales higher education. All our international students are able to enjoy the diversity of global cultures, the richness and tradition of Welsh culture, the energy of intellectual exchange and dialogue and the diversity of contemporary pop culture, including music, film, media and the arts. This unique vibrancy makes Wales a highly attractive and popular study destination.
Refreshingly Open
Wales is proud to promote its own distinctive national identity. The people of Wales are refreshingly open, warm-hearted and hospitable and are keen to provide international students with a comfortable and friendly living and studying environment.
Within the Wales higher education environment, all institutions insist on international students using standard academic English. This provides students the opportunity to develop their English language skills within a range of academic and social contexts and enables students to develop linguistic confidence.
