Agents

Welcome to University of Staffordshire!

Dear Partners,

Thank you for the continued work you undertake to support University of Staffordshire in its international student recruitment efforts. We truly value the work you undertake alongside us and recognise the significant contribution you make to help Staffordshire raise its international profile. Without your endeavours, we would not have seen such a welcome increase in our international student numbers.  

Whether studying at our campuses in Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford or in London, we are positioned to provide high quality support for our international students. We also strive to provide you, our partners, with the best possible service to help you meet the needs of your students. The international students who are now studying with us are ambassadors for yourselves as well as the University, and I hope you will be as proud of their achievements as we are.

I very much hope it will be possible for us to once again have you visit us in the next year at our agent conference now that travel restrictions to the UK have eased. Our campus is fully open to students and visitors, and a warm welcome awaits you! Should I or my team be able to provide you with any further help, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We welcome any feedback that you have and look forward to continuing our journey together.

With continued thanks for all you do.

Kim Chadwick-Reaney, Head of Recruitment and Access
