Students studying with NorthStarUK will receive tutorial support from experienced British educators. They benefit from mixing with fellow British students living in many parts of the world; NorthStarUK currently has students in Central America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

Students living overseas are encouraged to see their locality as a rich learning environment. In subjects such as geography, they are encouraged to describe local features of life, in much the same way as based students undertake local studies of their environment. The whole group can then report back and share findings.
