International students are valued members of our campuses and communities. Through their contributions in study and research, international students ensure our universities continue to have a global outlook and bring social and economic benefits to communities across Wales. By spending their time in Wales, they enhance the fabric of our society, share their own experiences, and strengthen our bonds to countries all over the world.

While they study with us they get to know Wales, its people and places, and carry that sense of place with them throughout their lives.

Universities in Wales want to make sure that we do everything we can to make sure that those who choose to come and study in Wales feel welcome and valued, and receive the advice, guidance and support they need both before they join us and while they are here.

We have developed a set of principles which outlines some of the many ways universities will support our international students.
