There are more than 4000 International Students at our University and Leicester is one of the most diverse cities in the UK. Diversity is what unites us and International Students' Day is a chance to celebrate multiculturalism and find out more about different cultures that we are surrounded by. Through understanding and embracing our differences, we build awareness of cultural diversity and learn to appreciate each other.
