"I chose to study a Research Master’s in Chemistry because I have always had the passion for research. The course provides the necessary knowledge to be able to carry out research and further my future career prospects. The Chemistry Department is quite the place to gain more knowledge as the people are willing to put you through your paces to further your academic work.

"The University organised student events have been some of the highlights of my time here at Hull. It has provided an insight into many things, particularly life in the UK. Living in the UK is quite interesting, since I come from a different cultural background. I have also volunteered as a Student Ambassador, which has enhanced my skills.

"My time at Hull has helped me learn a lot and given me new experiences. I will use all the knowledge and experience I have gained to develop myself; I will also apply it in the future, my career and to develop society.

"My greatest moments from my time at Hull are:

1. Hull Fair – a great event in Hull.
2. St. Stephen’s Shopping Centre Student Invasion event.
3. Arrival Day, a welcoming arrival to the university."

"I chose to study Law as I personally love to talk to people in need of my help. In relation to my career, Law is a great path to pursue in order to defend and relate to different people. Law is a broad course that will allow me to go into other careers if necessary.

"While the course is challenging, I also find it very interesting because of how broad the subject area is and the opportunity I have to take different courses in it. The department is very friendly and well-detailed.

"I have joined the Afro-Caribbean Society and had opportunities to increase my career prospects by becoming a Student Ambassador. I have also been able to work alongside others from different backgrounds.

"It is lovely living in Hull. Coming from Nigeria to Hull, which I was not familiar with, I fit in quite perfectly. The town is amazing, peaceful, cheap and friendly.

"I believe my time at Hull has provided me with a better and in-depth knowledge of Law and I have broadened my knowledge in other areas too as I have got involved in many different things. After University, I plan to go to Law School in Nigeria, then pursue my Master’s degree.

"My greatest moments from my time at Hull are:

1. Meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds, it’s a great experience.
2. Participating in the Open Day for the Law School at Hull.
3. Working with Primary Schools."

"I chose the General Management MBA because I wanted to expand the knowledge I already have doing Business. Initially, I found my course challenging as I have a legal background, but as time went by I became more familiar with what the course entailed. The department has taught me life skills and the ability to positively influence those around me; I feel positive about my future career prospects as a result of this.

"I have enjoyed my time at Hull as the events held by the University and the city are great. It was also good to meet other students and socialise with them. Hull is a very cosmopolitan city. There are a lot of people from various places and that keeps its international profile.

"I volunteer as a Resident Assistant in Taylor Court, where I ensure the well-being of other residents, which has allowed me to develop my skills. After university, I intend to pursue an internship, which will give me more experience! This will help me gain full employment in the future.

"My greatest moments from my time at Hull are:

1. The Welcome Fest – a great way to meet friends and learn your way around the University!
2. Hull Fair - a great event in Hull to go to!
3. Socialising with friends, new and old."
