SERC International

The SERC International Team leads and coordinates all international activity across the College. We support international students who wish to study with us, manage study and work abroad opportunities for current SERC students, and lead global partnerships and projects.

We are committed to providing students and staff with opportunities that extend beyond the classroom. Through international partnerships, global projects and funded mobility programmes, we enable our college community to gain valuable international experience, develop key skills and build global connections.

In addition, SERC also hosts a range of internationally recognised examinations, including IELTS, SAT and GED, supporting students and applicants in accessing further study opportunities in the UK and worldwide.

Whether you are a current SERC student interested in studying or working abroad, an international student considering SERC, or a partner organisation seeking collaboration, our International Team is here to support you.
