Why the UK?

The United Kingdom is famous for its world class education system - its qualifications are recognised and respected throughout the world.

Studying in UK is also an affordable option and was an ideal base for my travel. It is easy to see Europe as well as the four countries of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland in one. British people are friendly, polite and kind too. These are the reasons why I chose to study in the UK.

Why Manchester?

Because of the University's flexible and varied postgraduate programmes leading to employment and continuing professional development. It combines the advantages of a large, world class university with numerous facilities and a wide variety of research and teaching expertise. It also provides the most fantastic quality of libraries.

Manchester offers great opportunities to enjoy the cultural, social and sporting activities of the region. The University of Manchester is near the city centre and students can travel easily into the centre from all areas of campus.

Accommodation

I chose to stay in University accommodation because it is located at the heart of The University of Manchester campus and within easy reach of the city centre.

My flat is suitable for families like mine whose husband, Wan Kamal, is also studying at the same university, with one or two older children.

Our flat is more than just a place to eat and sleep. It is fully furnished and equipped with electric central heating and there is also a telephone and ethernet access for a computer in each room.

The flat is near to shops, Halal restaurants and the Students' Union.

Because the majority of the students living here come from all over the world and are of different backgrounds, it provides the best cultural and social mix.

This is the best place to study and live, especially for those who are going to spend more than one year studying here.
