Tôi đã chọn học một bằng cấp của NCUK vì nó cung cấp một con đường dễ dàng để theo học một trường đại học đẳng cấp thế giới tại Vương quốc Anh. Lời khuyên của tôi dành cho những sinh viên NCUK hiện tại là hãy mơ ước lớn và làm việc chăm chỉ hơn. Đã chuyển tiếp lên Đại học Salford để học Kỹ thuật máy bay với Nghiên cứu phi công.

Trước khi đến NCUK, tôi chưa bao giờ nghĩ mình có thể nhận được giải thưởng, do đó NCUK đã cho tôi nhiều cơ hội hơn để phát triển bản thân. Tôi đã học được nhiều kiến thức tại Trung tâm nghiên cứu NCUK, điều này rất hữu ích cho khóa học đại học của tôi. Tiến tới Đại học Aston để học Doanh nghiệp kinh doanh và Quản lý.
