INTERNATIONAL 16

International 16 is a unique project that brings together a diverse group of 16 students from 16 countries. The 16 students change each year and are selected through interviews. The interviews are relaxed, informal and for us to get to know you better.
–
If selected, you will be part of a unique cultural and educational experience. Willingness to learn and openness to other cultures is a must.
–
This project aims to bring people together to learn about each other’s culture as well as learning life lessons along the way.
–
Please note that the International 16 is an academic year long project which begins in September and last until May.

HOSPITALITY SCHEME

The Hospitality Scheme arranges for students to visit a British home on a number of occasions during their time in Manchester. This gives them the chance to experience something of everyday British life. Once linked with a family, students are invited to the home to share in a meal, perhaps Sunday lunch, afternoon tea or even a day trip out with the family.
–
The Hospitality Scheme is currently CLOSED and will reopen in September 2019 .
