Student Ambassador profiles

Introducing our three UK Student Ambassadors for 2017!

Likha: Creating my best self

I could have earned a perfectly good master’s degree in the Philippines, but I wanted to push my limits by attending one of the best universities in the world instead.

Of friendships, double cream and greeneries: Leaving UK with love

Aljo Quintans reflects on his year-long stay in the UK as he leaves for the Philippines in the coming weeks.

What was the best place I have been to in the UK?

Our UK Student Ambassador Iris Mauricio finds it difficult to feel bored in London. Here she recommends her favourite restaurants, hangout places, activities and more!

The GREAT in Great Britain (and Northern Ireland!)

Why choose UK as your study destination? Kat Usita, one of our UK Student Ambassadors, shares her experiences as a student of Oxford University.

Flight to infinity – Part 2

I have to admit that I’ve fallen quite in love with this city and its culture, and most especially how it’s embraced other cultures as part of its own.

Flight to Infinity - Part 1

This is the moment when you’ve got your plane ticket and passport in one hand, your suitcase in the other, and you’re waiting in line behind the check-in counter at NAIA.

A ‘barong’ In a closet of coloured shirts

Aljo came into the University as the only Filipino from his scholarship. This did not stop him from finding a network of Filipino students in the UK - or from cooking sinigang.
