Why did you choose to continue your
studies in the UK?
There
are number of reasons behind to study in UK.
· The UK is one of the world’s leading destinations for
international students.
· UK has a long history of world-renowned education.
· UK universities are renowned for high academic standards and they
also have reputation for world-class research.
· UK courses are generally shorter than other countries like USA and
Canada because USA and Canada is providing 2-year master degree whereas UK
offers 1 year master course, so it is helping to reduce overall tuition fees
and accommodation cost.
· UK’s degree and qualifications are recognized by employers and
academic worldwide.
· Crime ratio in UK is very low compare to USA and also the
application and Visa process in UK is quite fast compare to other countries.

· UK has a multi cultural atmosphere that is difficult to find in
any other countries.
Considering all the facts I have decided to study in UK.
Which other universities did you
think about applying to?
Well, before applying into Cardiff Metropolitan University I had checked out
University of Huddersfield, London South Bank University, Middlesex University,
University of Bradford etc. But its fees are in the range of £16,500 and it is
in the overcrowded city London and so I drop out for Middle Sex University.
Secondly, LSBU, fees of this university is £14900.and location in London but
modules also didn’t attract me and also South Bank has a high violent
crime rate and a high property crime rate for UK and then I search for
University of Huddersfield.
In this university I like location, but tuition fees in this university is
also high compare to Cardiff Met Then after I go for Cardiff Metropolitan University
and I like in this university location, fees are £12,500 so this is in my
budget and also I like modules and this university has been ranked Wales
University of the year by the Times and Sunday Times Good University guide
2021and received a silver teaching excellence framework award. So I chose to
study in Cardiff Metropolitan University.
If there has been a gap between your
previous studies and this new course, what was the reason for taking this
break?
I do not have any study gap as since completion
of my bachelors I have started working with XYZ Company.

you made/plan to make in Cardiff?
I did not sorted out accommodation yet.
But I have decided to live in private accommodation near to the University
campus. I have already checked on Spareroom.com and gumtree.com for my
accommodation. I have also checked university’s
accommodation facility where currently they have nearly 1,000 study bedrooms
located at the Cyncoed and Plas Gwyn campuses and allocate around 600
private en-suite halls of residence to students through nomination agreements.
I have checked the cost of private accommodation, it will cost me around 750-1000 pound per
month.

not affect your studies?

Well, my father/parents are my financial sponsor and my father is doing Agriculture Business in my country. Besides this he
has some other house and properties.
My
father’s annual income is 17 to 18 thousand pounds. Also my parents wants me to
apply for my higher studies from abroad and for that, they have saved money we
have some savings of around 14-15000
pound, which will be sufficient enough to pay my tuition fees and maintenance
cost.
