Colm Harmon, Vice-Principal Students, said: “We feel incredibly lucky that our students have chosen to come and study with us from across the globe.
“We believe this immeasurably enriches not only our own University community, but wider UK culture, innovation, economic potential and standing in the world.
“Wherever you’re from, you belong here and we’re proud of all that you’re achieving.”
