“UCL’s partnership with SAF dates back to 2009. During this 10 year period the partnership with SAF (including operations in China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan) has grown considerably and now embraces year, semester and summer study abroad and English language programmes. The growing number of institutions in SAF’s university network and in-country connections have been invaluable in terms developing UCL’s outreach in these countries. UCL is excited to be working with SAF as the new partnership with IES.”
