Hello again.
Am back after a few days of lectures. Am still trying to get used to blogging, finding it kinda strange.
Well, back to telling you more about my journey to Salford, I have to mention what mainly influenced my decision to study at Salford uni, MONEY! (Lol! off course MONEY!).
While I was in Nigeria, choosing a UK university to study in was a kinda difficult, because really, there's just so many of them. So I had to take my time and prioritized what was most important to me 'getting a high standard quality of education at an internationally recognized university and at a considerably cost'.
And yea, a lot of these uni's are internationally recognized but Salford uni had something extra special for students. Salford uni offers scholarships worth up to £5,000 to international students based on academic merit, knowing fully well that there are some of us out there, academically sound but without the proper finances to seek quality UK education. Seeing such an offer I couldn't resist, I graduated with a 2:1 (second class upper division) degree, I had to find out if it was really true and that easy, so I applied.
And few months later, I got conditional offer for admission from the uni, stating that I had been awarded their International Excellence Scholarship for £2,000 pounds.
That’s a lot of money? Yea, it is.
That sounds easy? Yea, it was.
For me, 2,000 pounds played a big part in helping me decide which uni I was going to.
But that’s not all, some individual courses also have different scholarships available to them and there are other sources of funding offered by Salford uni to international students from Nigeria and other countries.
