Graduating with both a UK and US degree, students gain a truly global education
We provide a distinct educational experience. Unlike traditional UK universities, we empower our students to explore a range of subjects before specialising, shaping their degree around their ambitions.
Students enjoy being part of a close-knit community that values diversity, with award-winning support, small classes, and integrated opportunities like internships. Graduating with both a UK and US degree, students gain a truly global education and the freedom to go further.
We have been awarded 4 QS Stars overall in recognition of our excellence across multiple areas, with 5 Stars awarded for employability, global engagement, diversity, equity & inclusion, and programme strength.
