UKCISA

🏆 Congratulations to all nominees and winners of the Alliance Awards 2024! Our Chief Executive Anne-Marie Graham helped to judge and present the Professionals Award, which was awarded to the Future Students Team from the University of South Wales. A huge thank you to University Alliance (UK) for inviting UKCISA to celebrate the incredible work of colleagues, students and teams of UA members.

💬 "We are, British universities, the best in the world [...] and our international students coming here to study at our wonderful institutions expect the best teaching and the best experience in the world, and that is what you are delivering." UKCISA President Lord Karan Bilimoria expresses his admiration, appreciation and gratitude to all UKCISA members for the invaluable work they do to support international students living and studying in the UK. We are proud to work with and represent every single one of our members, and we hope that this message serves as a timely encouragement as institutions across the UK welcome students for the new year.

Good call from Julie Allen! I would heartily recommend putting yourself forward to serve on the UKCISA Board if you are involved in international student experience. Lovely people and incredibly valuable learning to be gained. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a UKCISA trustee.
