Community
We are proud to have students from over 40 nations studying at The Park. These include students from China, Russia, the United States, Zimbabwe and virtually every country in the European Union. Our teaching staff include internationally renowned scholars, business practitioners with many years' industrial experience and business specialists with recent experience of teaching around the globe.

Together we form a vibrant scholarly community, which is constantly enriched by the variety of cultures and experiences of its members. We all learn from each other and particularly welcome the contribution of international students.
 
Social Events
Throughout the academic year, you can join social events which give international students a chance to meet other students, practise their English and learn more about British history and customs.

The type of social event varies, so there's likely to be something to suit everyone. In the past, events have included regular coffee evenings where students meet and chat; trips to Bath at Christmas and Oxford in the spring; visits to Welsh castles and (of course, in Cheltenham) a visit to the Races, with a chance to cheer on your favourite horse.
