“Congratulations to all our UK partner universities who have secured such excellent rankings in The Guardian University Guide 2023 – recognition of the positive all-round experience they offer students. We’re proud to have helped so many international students to access these world class higher education institutions and, in turn, see the valuable impact that a diverse and global community of students brings back into the university."
