Our partnerships enable us to collaborate with highly respected institutions across the globe, providing opportunities for students and staff to broaden their horizons and to internationalise their work.

International partnerships

Many of our students take the opportunity to study abroad with our international exchange partners which include the University of Sydney in Australia, Seoul National University in South Korea and the University of Hong Kong.

We often host visiting academics from other universities and many of our staff have visiting positions at international institutions and engage in collaborative research.
