Name: Saurin Badiyani
University: The Nottingham Trent University
Year: 2003-04
Course: MSc. Management

On the experience of UK education: UK education to much extent is similar to what we study in India (as Indian education is adapted according to UK standards) apart from that the things are taught in practical manner, latest theories or research are explored rather than studying old theories. Infact the course contents are updated each year.

Fond memories of life on the University campus: Everyone in the University are helpful, teaching as well as management/administration staff. The time spend with other international students is unforgettable.

Quality of teaching: Really good

Comments on Support at the university: Good attention is given at international students, equal opportunities and overall support and guidance provided by different bodies.

Leisure activities on and off campus: Infact as being a master student (course duration of 1 year), there was less time for leisure as there were many other things to do.

Your life than (before your international exposure) and Now: Completely different, when i was in India i hardly used to think beyond boundry limits, but now i have better understanding of world, people from different parts of the world, their culture, their traditions, which has now made easy for me to move globally

Part-time / Full time work: well there are many opportunities, you just need to keep on trying and applying till you get one, and till you are satisfied. I would like to say never give up...

Advice to prospective students wanting to pursue an education abroad: i would advice prospective students, to do a good research on different universities, and then select right course for you, as you are your best judge and no one knows you and your capabilities more than yourself.

Three words that best describe the spirit of your university: Practical, Exciting, Stressful

A short description on your experiences with Trivedi Consultants: In my case after being rejected twice for US visas, Trivedi Consultants, helped me in finding right course, right university, availing admission in university, sorting out accommodation, proper guidance for visa application, and all these in a span of less than a month.
