The British Council is committed to connecting UK Alumni around the world. The British Council launched the 'Alumni UK' global network that connects UK Alumni around the world, who have studied in or with the UK as an overseas student.
Registering with Alumni UK allows you to expand your international network, exchange information with other UK Alumni that can help you in your career development, and access exclusive events for skills and career development.
