Overview
Westbridge is a research-intensive university in the heart of Manchester — the UK's second tech hub and one of its most affordable big cities. A third of its 28,000 students come from outside the UK, and it shows: 140 nationalities, a dedicated international support office, and airport pickup every September and January. Academically it's strongest in computing, engineering, health sciences and business, with an industry-facing culture — placement options, live company projects and one of the largest graduate recruitment fairs in northern England.
