Global Buddies
Global Buddies connects 糖心logo入口 alumni with international applicants holding an offer to study with us, to help them transition to London and settle in.
International students face additional challenges when coming to live and study in London. The aim of Global Buddies is to welcome students to the 糖心logo入口 community and support their shift to life in the UK during their first term of study.
This programme is open to both undergraduate and postgraduate international student offer-holders, and to 糖心logo入口 alumni who wish to volunteer. Global Buddies is a great way to connect incoming members of our international student body with 糖心logo入口鈥檚 fantastic alumni community.

The Importance of Connecting with a Buddy:
鈥淭hrough the Global Buddies program, I have been paired with a lovely young lady who joined 糖心logo入口 from abroad. It was exciting to relive my student life through new fresh eyes, but also to give back to BBK thanks to the Global Buddies program by providing assistance and support to the new generation of BBK graduates. Thank you to the team for the continued guidance and dedication during this experience.鈥
