About Us

United World Colleges

United World Colleges (UWC) is the only global educational movement which brings together students from all over the world at pre-university level (or tertiary level in the case of one College). Students are selected on merit and live together in an environment designed to foster international understanding, tolerance and peace.

The National Committee

The volunteer National Committee system of selecting representatives from countries around the world to attend the various United World Colleges has been operating successfully for many years in 114 different countries, overseen by the UWC International Board, and its Secretariat (based in London). You can find the latest up-to-date news from the National Committee on our blog at UWCBritain.blogspot.com. If you want to support the work of the National Committee, please contact us today!
