Randall Gyebi from Ghana, studying MEng Civil Engineering

UNMC was an opportunity for me to experience something new and learn more about Asia as a whole. I decided that if I can get good education and international exposure, it’s a win-win for me.

My study experience at UNMC has been singular. Coming to the study in the University of Nottingham, I anticipated world class education, which I am getting, but I never anticipated the plethora of great experiences that comes with it. From scuba diving on beautiful islands, eating a variety of great Asian cuisine and learning the languages of the expansive international community - it really has been amazing.
University life has helped me adopt a more open approach to many aspects of my life and it is creating infinitely more options for me and a greater sense of appreciation for the people around me. My time at UNMC has quite literally been a life-changing experience getting good education, meeting some amazing people and experiencing Asia at its best. Definitely an experience that should not be missed.
