“Being awarded a Postgraduate Taught Merit Scholarship meant I began my journey on a positive note. The process of applying was quite easy and very transparent. It is a lot of money, and it gives you confidence as well. Then we had the international student’s celebration, you get to dress up and socialise with everyone.”
Sanskriti Chhabra, India, MBA Global
“The Postgraduate Taught Merit Scholarship changed my life. A lot of heavy lifting over my finances was sorted. It has brought back my confidence. Don’t forget that you have to have an offer of a place before you can apply for the scholarship. The scholarship was just like the icing on the cake.”
Ajayi Adegbemi, Nigeria, MSc Data Science
“The MA in Creative Writing at University of Gloucestershire was highly recommended by Humber College in Toronto. My writing now compared with when I started my MA is 100% different and has developed in the best way. I’ve applied what I’ve learned from my advisors to my own business and job.
I was so happy about the MA programme that I decided to progress to PhD. I think it’s great for Canadians to be able to study abroad. I feel you just get a wider view of the world.”
Alexandria Brown, Humber College Canada, MA Creative Writing
