WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

In the past three years, UEL has become the place that gifted me with both personal and academic growth. It has allowed me to study a subject that I am truly interested in, meet new people from many different backgrounds and study abroad to learn through new experiences. UEL has definitely been the right choice for me. I cannot recommend it enough."

Maria Gancheva, Ukraine, BA (Hons) Creative and Professional Writing

MEET YOUR REPRESENTATIVE

About me - Felicia Werner, Senior Regional Manager (Europe)

I'm not only a Canadian who decided to pursue my MBA at UEL, I have also been guiding students aspiring to do the same, as a Regional Manager for the past few years. I fell in love with London, through my time at UEL, I couldn't get over how diverse and relentless this city was. My experience was further enriched by the fact that I was  a sports scholar on our excellent athletics programme, as a competitive rower. Even if you're just thinking about studying abroad, it doesn't hurt to ask questions - trust me I did! If you know you want to study abroad, why wait to start your journey?

Completing an application is one thing, but what happens next? How do you apply for housing, scholarships, possibly a visa? What do you need to consider when studying abroad?

Don't worry, I'm here to help you take it step-by-step and anytime you need me, I'll only be a call or an email away!
