The UK at a Glance

Start to build a picture of the UK from the lessons in our first module. Here you will learn about the UK’s geography and history, about its constituent countries—Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England—and its regional identities, but also about the languages spoken throughout the country. You will also find a useful section on the most common dos and don’ts to help you get more familiar with the British way of life.

Living in the UK

This module will help you better understand the people who call the UK home. You will learn about many things that may directly influence your friends, fellow students, professors, and possibly co-workers—like the unpredictable UK weather, commonly held attitudes, and how to most effectively communicate.

Thriving as a Student in the UK

This next section is fully dedicated to students arriving to study in the UK. Find tips and advice on how to best navigate student-professor interactions and meet other students who share your passions and interests. Get a better understanding of what UK universities do to support students’ academic success and overall wellbeing, and get practical tips that will help you to succeed on the job market after you graduate.

Identities, Diversity and Inclusion

Find useful information about what it means to be different in the UK because of your ethnicity, race, gender, and sexuality. This module collects both historical information and present experiences of local and expat women, LGBTQ+ people, and BIPOC to help you better understand the workings of UK society, and make you aware of your own position. Civil rights, gender and racial equality, safety while travelling are some of the topics covered in this module. Learn more here.
