International Students

The University of Bolton is a relatively small university in comparison to some others in the UK. This means that you not only benefit from some of the lowest staff to student teaching ratios, but also that you quickly begin to recognise faces around our compact campus and make friends here. In addition to the International Society there are many other societies in which students can be involved as well as competitive sports teams. Participation is organised by our Student Union (link to Student Union webpage) which is an integral part of our student experience.

Bolton, Manchester and the surrounding areas are very multi-cultural, so any international student will never feel alone. The university also has one of the most ethnically diverse student populations with around 25% of UK/Home students from ethnic minority communities. You can also buy products (including food) from around the world at our international market place, so you will always feel at home. With around 60 nationalities represented on campus, the University of Bolton is an international community with a rich cultural mix, and we have many features that make us an excellent option for international students.
