How did you find out about Warwick?
I visited Warwick University, when I had the university trip in UK with my school.

First of all, Warwick is one of the UK's leading universities, with an acknowledged reputation for excellence in research and teaching and provides very competitive opportunities for career prospects. Moreover, I am very fascinating of the way that my subject Law is approached in Warwick which is law in context. Last but not least, I wanted a campus based university and Warwick has one of the most beautiful university campus in the UK.

Once I received the email that notified me of my scholarship, I was thrilled for the first time in awhile. I felt very blessed and happy as I was realising that the dream was becoming true.
Who was the first person you told when you received the news about your scholarship and how did they react?
My family was incredibly proud of me and off course the same night we celebrate it with my friends from school who they were also very supportive. My teachers showed me love and the faculty at my school also congratulated me. It was a boost of confidence and a jump start to my mood.
How did you apply and did anyone help you with your application form and visa application?
I apply through the website of Global Excellence Scholarship and I did it on my own.

What are your plans when you graduate?
Through the abilities, experience and knowledge gained from my degree, I would like to provide many benefits to society, which will mainly includes: incorporation of justice, make use of appropriate communication techniques, and conducting careful analysis of the problems under consideration. At the moment, I want to implement my knowledge of law towards the well-being of human behavior. I want to form a legally organized society by eliminating criminal activities and injustice towards individuals. It goes without saying that, I can not be sure about the sector of the law that fascinates me more yet, but I am really interesting in maritime law. Therefore, I would be honoured to get involved in a high established maritime law firm in UK or somewhere else as maritime law gives you international opportunities.
What would you say to someone considering applying for an Undergraduate Global Excellence scholarship at Warwick, what would it be?
I would advice someone, that they should do the application process on their own, because that's how they will find out if they are really passionate of studying abroad the course they had choose. Also who knows you better than you do ? Furthermore, be careful read the instructions, make sure you are eligible, and last but definitely not least not leave it till the last minute.
