Ursula Callaghan - Head of International Relations

As Head of International Relations, I support the management of the University of Liverpool’s international partnerships to facilitate student admissions.  The University has a number of international partnerships, but undoubtedly the most special is our partnership with XJLTU.  Student admissions to Liverpool from XJTLU are facilitated through the 2+2 programme and my team works alongside Liverpool and XJLTU colleagues to get articulation routes approved, provide advice and information through the Liverpool web-pages, run events for 2+2 applicants and oversees the processes to admit and support XJTLU students with their transfer to Liverpool.  We also work closely with a network of academic and professional services staff across the University to enhance the experience for 2+2 students in Liverpool, supporting your success here and your future ambitions.

I work hard to make sure that you have the information you need to enable a seamless transition to the University of Liverpool. I work with the academic departments and support and enhancement offices in Liverpool, along with colleagues at XJTLU to support your articulation. I have visited XJTLU several times and look forward to visiting again in the future. I also look forward to welcoming you to Liverpool soon!

I support the transition of students from XJTLU to Liverpool. Having studied at Universidad Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona and having lived in the USA, I know what it is like to be an international student, and love getting to meet and work with international students here at University of Liverpool. I am also responsible for the management of Sponsors and sponsored students, ensuring that international students are able to fully enjoy and benefit from their experience in Liverpool. I've worked in various roles in the International Team, both sending students to overseas universities and helping international students come to Liverpool.

I work very closely with 2+2 students, both those who are already in Liverpool and those at XJTLU. As a communication officer, no matter what questions you have, like living or study in Liverpool, I am here to support you. I come from Shanghai and studied an MA degree in the University of Liverpool School of Architecture. I graduated in 2020 and was sponsored by the University to establish a platform to share my UK study experiences. I hope I can help you fully enjoy your time studying in Liverpool!
