The University of Bristol is home to over 8,000 international students who represent more than 150 countries. How do we ensure they thrive in their learning? Part of the University’s mission is to develop its global engagement and provide a student-centred learning environment. An understanding of how our approach to teaching and assessment and the content of our curricula impacts the international student experience is key to achieving these goals.
