Meet George Wilkinson
I’m George Wilkinson — a UK Higher Education content creator and the host of Global Scholar, a dynamic digital platform dedicated to helping international students navigate university life in the UK.
As a recent international student myself, I know firsthand the questions, hopes, and challenges that come with studying abroad. That’s why I create content that goes beyond the prospectus — bringing real student stories, campus vibes, accommodation tours, city life, and essential tips straight to screens across the globe, especially for prospective students from Africa.
Through standout projects like the Futures Start Tour & Scholar Spark, I partner with leading universities and brands to showcase UK education from the inside out — with high-quality content that’s informative, relatable, and rooted in lived experience.
