Anel from Kazakhstan

International Year One student at UWE Bristol's International College

I had such a great time at UWE Bristol's International College! All of the teachers were very helpful and really good at explaining what we were expected to do. The social aspect of life at the College was also really fun — I took part in various international days, I joined the Kazakh Society and I started doing Zumba. Read more about my story.

João from Angola

Pre-Master's student at UWE Bristol's International College

The classes at Kaplan were really helpful for me: the modules allow you to develop your skills so that you’re much better prepared for university. I’ve learnt presentation skills, how to write properly and speak confidently – I think all of these things will help me in the future.
