UNH Graduate School: A safe and inspiring experience of a lifetime

In 1979, Deng Xiaoping, then the most powerful figure in the People’s Republic of China,said to his American guest, Henry Kissinger, “There is nothing very frightening about education in the West.” That adage was as true then as it is now for international students heading to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Graduate School.

UNH Graduate School offers over 180 graduate programmes in a variety of disciplines at the master’s, certificate, and doctorate levels, online and across three campuses in New Hampshire — Durham, Manchester and Concord. These three campuses encapsulate a variety of American qualities — there is a traditional New England college town, a tech industry revolution in New Hampshire’s largest city, the hallowed halls of the NH Supreme Court, and many of the state’s major law firms and nonprofits.

Most importantly, UNH’s campuses are some of the safest college communities in the US. Durham is listed as one of the top 10 safest college towns in America. Amid the pandemic, various measures are also in place to ensure the health and safety of students, staff and faculty, from increased cleaning and disinfection to on-campus COVID-19 testing.
