Meet the New Director of UCA Global We
are delighted to announce the appointment of Fiona Conlan as the new
Director of UCA Global. Fiona will be leading the development and
execution of UCA's global strategy, focusing on international student

wealth of experience, having previously held key roles at LSE, the
University of Greenwich, the University of Kent, UEL, and the University
of California. In her own words: "I
am excited to work with the UCA community to lead our global vision and
strategy, and to have the opportunity to support a forward-thinking
beacon of creative excellence that embraces innovation, fosters
creativity, and celebrates diversity." |

calmer and more favourable external conditions. There's never been a better time for international students to choose the UK as their study destination. In a recent global address,
the UK's new Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, reaffirmed the
country's strong commitment to providing study and post-study work
opportunities for international students: |
