Northern England

England has enjoyed a renaissance over the last ten years and the combination of vibrant exciting universities, stunning settings and young modern cities have drawn students in from across the world. From the beautiful countryside of the Pennines, to the shopping centres of Leeds and Manchester there is something for everyone. Frequent trains link the north’s main town and cities and there are fast hourly trains from the main cities of the north to London while international airports connect the region with Europe, Asia and America. Each of the four universities that we represent in the area has something unique to offer the student, however all share access to one of the most exciting regions in Europe.

The Midlands

 The central area of England has, as its focal point, the city of Birmingham. Whilst this large conurbation can offer all the services and excitement you would expect of England’s second city, it is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside to be found anywhere in Europe. The rolling hills and pretty villages of the Cotswold Hills present an image of England that is famous throughout the world, but there is also a stunning array of architecture, including magnificent castles, stately homes and inspiring churches.

 Living in the Midlands means you have easy access to all parts of country, whether it be the delights of London or the breathtaking mountains of Wales. There is no better place to live if you wish to experience the best of all worlds!  

 LONDON

Is London the greatest city in the world? That may be debatable, but there is no doubt that it offers an incredible range of attractions to the overseas visitor. Perhaps you would like to visit Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament or the Tower of London – or maybe watch a top West End show, travel on the London Eye or watch Chelsea play Manchester United? There are so many things to do, see and experience – and the excellent tube, bus and rail system means it is so easy to travel around the city! As Samuel Johnson famously said, “He who is tired of London is tired of life.”

SOUTH WALES

The valleys of south Wales were once the home to a network of coal mines, producing millions of tons for the rest of Britain. Those mines have all gone now, to be replaced by modern light industries and a ‘return to nature.’ Wooded hills enclose sweeping green valleys in an area that has been transformed in recent years. The area is dominated by the capital city, Cardiff, which has benefited from extensive redevelopment recently. The city offers every type of leisure and entertainment activity you might wish for, as well as fast, direct trains to London and other parts of Britain. Together with its own airport, nearby beaches and that wonderful rolling countryside, south Wales really does offer the student everything that might be hoped for in a visit to the British Isles.
