This third episode of Spare a Thought starts a mini series focused on international students studying in the UK. In episode three, Tom chats with Julie Campbell, International Student Advisory Manager at Ulster University about international students and the Higher Education sector. 

International students provide a net contribution to the UK economy of £37.4 billion, but their contribution goes way beyond numbers and figures. There are lots of challenges that international students are faced with, but even when an international student has their place confirmed, their journey is far from over.
