Students are often taught that when they study at schools abroad<\/a> they are opening their mind to new opportunities and lessons. In fact, there are plenty of universities that benefit from a diverse culture when they accept students from all over the world.<\/p>\n

\"International<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t just students that make up a diverse culture, though. Having a diverse panel of teachers from all over the world also plays a huge role in helping students learn from different points of view.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in going to a diverse university, where should you go? What are the most culturally varied universities in the world?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that a large part of looking at the universities with the most international teachers are often the most advertised through international programs for students. With more international students, though, you are likely to find more international teachers to match.<\/p>\n

\u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne<\/h1>\n

The first university we will look at today is the \u00c9cole Polytechnique F\u00e9d\u00e9rale de Lausanne or, in English, the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. As is told in the name, this university is located in Lausanne, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

This means that students and teachers are a cultural center in this French-speaking section of Switzerland. After all, they are studying and working in the heart of Europe with France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Liechtenstein all bordering the country making them close and ready for exploration.<\/p>\n

As far as the university itself, it specializes in natural sciences and engineering. Interestingly enough, this is one of very few universities that run a nuclear reactor, a fusion reactor, a Gene\/Q Supercomputer, as well as P3 biohazard facilities all for research and teaching purposes.<\/p>\n

The university also runs a number of exchange programs. As a result, they are home to a diverse student body hailing from 112 different nationalities.<\/p>\n

University of Hong Kong<\/h1>\n

If you are looking for a particularly diverse university, the University of Hong Kong should definitely be on your list.<\/p>\n

\"International<\/p>\n

This university has the goal of becoming \u201cAsia\u2019s Most Global University\u201d. In practice, this means that by 2019, they plan for 50% of their undergraduates to study internationally. By 2022, every undergraduate student will have the same opportunity making this a university rife with the possibility for each student to expand their horizons. Even at this point, diversity is a high priority with 40% of the University of Hong Kong being international students.<\/p>\n

For professors, this is a great chance to build your career as this is a research driven university. In fact, 111 of the professors at this universities have been ranked within the top 1% in the world by Essential Science Indicators.<\/p>\n

For students, the University of Hong Kong will help you graduate with a highly valuable degree. Throughout the last 11 years, they have boasted a 99.4% graduate employment rate.<\/p>\n

National University of Singapore<\/h1>\n

If you decide the University of Hong Kong isn\u2019t for you but you still want to work or study within Asia, you should consider the National University of Singapore. The National University of Singapore is actually considered one of the best universities in Asia, so students and professors alike can expect a lot of value out of their time here.<\/p>\n

For students who are looking to travel, the National University of Singapore has plenty of overseas colleges that students can attend during overseas programs. These include chances to travel and study in Beijing, Israel, Munich, Shanghai, New York, Stockholm, Silicon Valley, and Lausanne. The National Universities of Singapore also works closely with two of the best American universities – Yale University and Duke University.<\/p>\n

As a student, you would also have the chance to work towards double degree or joint degree with exchange programs with other leading universities.<\/p>\n

University of Geneva<\/h1>\n

The University of Geneva is not only known as one of the most diverse universities in the world, it is also known as Switzerland\u2019s second largest university.<\/p>\n

\"International<\/p>\n

While studying or working at the University of Geneva, there are more than 280 different degree programs and over 250 continuing education programs. This, paired with the fact that they have an average of 16,000 international students from more than 140 different countries, makes the University of Geneva a place rife with opportunities for both students and teachers.<\/p>\n
