In a global economy, employing an international student can bring valuable business benefits to UK and EEA employers.

With in-depth understanding of different markets, cultures and languages, as well as overseas contacts, international students are ideally suited to supporting a company’s global business needs and can add a significant competitive edge to an organisation.

Warwick’s international students

Warwick has a student population of around 23,400, of which nearly 60% are undergraduates. As a result of our global reputation, over a quarter of the student population - approximately 6,400 students - come from outside of the UK and EEA.

Warwick produces highly employable graduates who have studied a range of disciplines - and we are consistently placed in the top three universities targeted by the UK’s leading graduate employers.

Warwick attracts the most able students from over 142 countries - a major proportion of which are from the UK’s largest commercial partners, including Mainland China, India, Malaysia, Nigeria and Russia, as well as the USA, EU and Middle East.

International students offer many benefits to UK and EEA employers, including:

• valuable business skills learnt whilst studying, including project management, problem solving, leadership, communications and customer focus
• opportunities to develop new ventures, products and services
• access to overseas contacts and networks
• a fresh perspective
• in-depth knowledge of different cultures and languages
• initiative and drive having lived and studied in a different country.
