I'm a lawyer from the Philippines.
I’m from Nigeria.
I'm from Mexico.
I’m from China.
It's everything I expected it to be and more.
The University is beautiful.
I feel like home in another country.
To study overseas is always one of my, you know, goals.
The Chevening Scholarship, it’s an international scholarship scheme, offered by the UK government,
and funded by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office that target current leaders and potential
future leaders that want to study a one year Masters degree at any UK university, in any study field.
If you're able to experience education in another country, which is quite different
from yours, it can only be good for you. It can only improve you.
I need to broaden my horizon. I've been working for five years. But there's no systematic
learning of what… what I'm doing. So I feel that I do need to learn something,
you know, learn something new.
The University of Nottingham prides itself on being a global university. And when you
come here, you realise that is true.
I've just met exceptional people from all over the world in different universities,
and it's just an amazing experience. You realise so much that all of these people have to offer,
which is why they're here.
Studying in the UK has provided me additional advantage, that if I had studied a Masters
degree in my country, I wouldn't have had.
I mean, I honestly could not have afforded to study here without the Chevening or without
The University of Nottingham. They paid for full tuition fees, accommodation allowances,
everything you'd need to study.
The location of Nottingham is a very good advantage, because it’s right in the middle
of Britain, right. Yes, so it takes just two hours to go to London, and less than three
hours to go to many other different places.
Being part of the Chevening Scholarship definitely helps your career and improves your opportunity.
It has helped me… has given me more alternatives in the future.
I'm coming from a big job to a big University with a really big scholarship. It just fits
perfectly. Everything is just so prestigious. Nottingham University is very prestigious.
The Chevening Scholarship is very prestigious.
I don’t picture myself as doing anything else but this, in this place. I really think
I made a good decision.
You've got an international scholarship to a global university. I think it’s a win-win
all round for everyone, yeah.
So far it’s the best experience I’ve had and the best choice I’ve made in my life.
