George WilkinsonThis year, Global Scholar is hitting the road with something bold and exciting — the Futures Start Tour 2025. It’s more than just a tour; it’s a movement, a mission, and a visual experience crafted to empower international students with the real stories, sights, and sounds of UK university life.
Led by George Wilkinson, host of the Global Scholar YouTube channel and a recent international graduate himself, this tour spans some of the UK’s leading universities, capturing the essence of student life directly from the campuses themselves.
Why the Futures Start Tour?
International students often begin their journey with uncertainty — What does the campus really look like? What’s the vibe in the city? Will I feel at home? The Futures Start Tour aims to answer those questions through immersive, high-quality video content that brings these places to life in a way that websites and brochures simply can’t.
It’s not just about glossy views of lecture halls — it’s about what it feels like to be there. From campus tours and accommodation walkthroughs to city explorations and real student interviews, this tour puts authenticity first.
What to Expect
Each stop on the tour showcases:
- Stunning university campuses through the lens of lived experience
- Interviews with current students sharing tips, stories, and what they wish they knew
- Deep dives into student-friendly parts of the city — cafés, culture spots, hidden gems
- Helpful insights into accommodation, funding, and university support systems
If you’re an international student planning to study in the UK — or even just curious — this series is tailored for you.

The Futures Start Tour is an invitation to explore, learn, and feel inspired. Whether you’re watching from Accra, Delhi, Nairobi, or London, Global Scholar is bringing the UK closer to you — one story, one city, and one university at a time.
