Global vision

Although the Russell Group are UK-based universities our outlook and activities are global. Their high quality of teaching and research attracts students from across the globe who make up about 20% of the student body. Talented academics from around the world are attracted to work in our universities by their excellent reputations and resources.  This intellectual richness and social diversity makes the Russell Group environment an exciting and vibrant one in which to work or study.

Russell Group universities maintain close international partnerships with leading academics and institutions around the world, working together to push forward our knowledge of the world in which we live.  From space exploration to environmental protection, global health to the new digital economy, our universities are working with their international peers to address the major challenges facing humanity.
