We’re proud of our diverse community at the RAU and welcome students from across the globe.
We have students from 46 countries studying in Cirencester, plus over 1,700 students studying with our Chinese partnerships, and 160 students at the International Agricultural University in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The RAU has strong links around the world. Overseas universities, Government bodies, and organisations have forged strong connections with the RAU. Graduates have gone on to work for governments, influential companies, and to set up their own businesses. We understand that you may not have previously lived or studied in the UK and could need some additional support.
We will provide you with advice and guidance throughout the application process, from choosing the course, to applying for your visa and making sure you feel settled in your new home when you get here.
If you have any queries we can be contacted by email on international@rau.ac.uk or by the international contact form further down this page.
