Study Group - The University of Sheffield international College

Study Group
Study Group is the leading provider of international education, driving success for our students and partners. We believe in a better world through education, and work with universities which are as motivated by driving student success and outcomes as we are.

Study Group works with leading universities across the UK, Europe, North America and Australasia. We nurture ambitious students from diverse academic backgrounds and prepare them for success at their chosen university through our on-campus International Study Centres.

Our pathway programmes provide the language, academic and social skills that students need for university progression and continued success after they graduate. Their success is key to the decisions we make, from the programmes we offer to supporting them in their journey.

Our global recruitment teams enrolled over 30,000 students from 142 countries in 2018. The universities we work with trust us to increase their international footprint, access student diversity and provide assured progression, so they can continue to focus on academic excellence.

Pathways to the University of Sheffield for international Students:
The International College gives you the perfect introduction to studying abroad. We teach more than 1,000 students every year, preparing them for the challenges of studying their undergraduate or postgraduate degree at a top-ranking Russell Group University.

For many international students, studying abroad brings some challenges that need a little extra support. Our international pathway programmes are delivered by Study Group and developed in collaboration with academics from the University, so you will know what to expect during your degree.
