About The Program

The University of Bristol is an innovative university that has tackled global issues like climate change, infection and immunity, human rights, and cryptography. A member of the Russell Group of research-focused UK universities, an ample selection of engineering and STEM courses are available year-round. The University of Bristol is involved with numerous international research collaborations and integrates practical experience into the curriculum so that students work on real-life projects in partnership with business, community, and government sectors. A UNESCO City of Film, Bristol is an exceptional location for film, media, and art majors. Once the seat of British naval power, the city is now famous for being one of the United Kingdom’s most inclusive and green cities. Bristol has a long tradition of support for the LGBTQ+ community and a demonstrated commitment to clean transportation and energy. Visit the purpose-built eco home at the Create center for practical ideas for greener living. See a gallery in an old tea warehouse, check out the cultural cinema and pop-up screenings, and take in the urban art at Europe’s largest street art and graffiti festival.

WHERE YOU'LL STUDY

Much like the city for which it is named, the University of Bristol’s commitment to clean energy and transportation is immediately apparent in the courses, research, and building design. Bristol and the University of Bristol are a multicultural hub for a widely diverse and close-knit study community. The campus spans a large area of southwest England and includes eight libraries. The university’s indoor and outdoor sporting facilities are excellent thanks to generous funding. In addition to academic and practical support, like student ambassadors who meet you when you arrive in the UK, the university offers health and wellness support for international students. It is no wonder Bristol has been voted the best student city in the UK. Bristol's dedicated Student Experience team offers a range of events and activities to support your academic, personal, and professional growth. The Global Lounge organizes free social events, regular cultural exchanges, and a Language Café where students can meet and interact with one another in many languages.
