Mawaddah Tayeb , Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Methods of teaching are different here and the academic standards are higher, so I needed more help with research skills and the whole system.

I have met people from everywhere. Before I only knew people from my own country but now I am enjoying learning about different cultures in a fun and engaging way through personal friendships. You learn how to deal with different people and to communicate.

Studying here is giving me a chance to learn about English culture and people, which will make it much easier when I progress to my degree course and also help me in my social life.

When I return to Saudi Arabia, my course will be really useful to me because this knowledge is not available there and hopefully I can make a really valuable contribution to my country in the future.
