What attracted you to the University of Reading?

Reading University is one of the best in my research areas. The experience and quality of academic staff encouraged me to choose Reading University. Campus facilities such as sport facilities, IT services, social activities and social life were much better than l expected. Teaching and research quality helps international students to improve themselves at Reading University. l love the green campus and the beautiful lake which make me so relaxed after the busy day.

Reading is one of the best options for students in the UK with its social life, nightlife, easy access to London and other big cities also make Reading a good alternative for students.

Have you experienced any difficulties?

I think all the challenges I had along the way contributed to my success on the course, because I had access to my tutors, lecturers, university support, and new friends from different countries,
I was only home sick at the beginning, but wish I could stay longer now.

What are you planning to do when you finish your course?

After my Masters I want to start my PhD in Reading University. Research facilities, library, IT services, and experienced academic staff are gathered in Reading University and this makes Reading a good option for all researchers in politics.
