Originally developed over ten years ago, #WeAreInternational relaunched in May 2023, with over 70 institutions taking part. The campaign aims to celebrate the social, civic and cultural value that international students bring to towns and cities across the UK, as well as reverse the decline in how welcoming a study destination the UK is perceived to be by prospective international students.
Throughout Autumn 2023, institutions and organisations from across the higher education sector shared content developed with our toolkit. In May 2024, 'part 2' of the #WeAreInternational campaign launched, with a new set of films charting the inspiring experiences of international students, graduates and alumni.
You can access our dedicated Comms Hub page for the campaign, where you can find out more about how to get involved. You can also access our toolkit, which will allow you to create your own #WeAreInternational assets.
If I had one piece of advice to give those considering the UK, it's simple - come. You'll find your place here, I promise.
