International Office Visits
We will find out which countries are visited by the international Office, e.g. Jordan and Uganda and what sort of help they provide, e.g. guidance on application procedure and qualifications and continued support after your arrival.
11o Nationalities on Campus
There are over 110 nationalities in the student body. This should be highlighted or featured in some way.
