The course is well-structured in the way of its delivery, inclusion, level, and international qualification. It makes me feel prepared before entering the University. And not a surprise, I felt nothing to be worried about when I was undertaking Year 1 at The University of Manchester. The basic theories were all in my mind so I knew how to respond during lectures and workshops. And l liked to interact with my international lecturers and class-mates.
I learned what I needed to learn. I am not only saying about the courses, but also a learning model that is required for every international student – that is from feeding-teaching to self-learning. This learning model becomes so crucial later when I studied for my undergraduate and postgraduate, and I gained lots of benefit from it, which has even impacted my current work attitude.
NCUK courses and assignments are designed to let students interact and to encourage team-work. Had I not studied an NCUK qualification, I wouldn’t have learnt these skills before university.
I am currently working in the media sector. My short-term goal is to be a professional in this field. For longer-term goal, I want my work to empower a bigger society in the future.
I want to not only let media to make communication easier, but also to let it generate positive power, given the current world is undergoing so many negativity. It’s still a bit vague maybe, but I always education and good minds and make the world a better place.
Don’t limit yourself to the learning of subjects. Hard skills are needed but they are not everything. Value your time while you are still a student in foundation year because that is about the period to equip you as a well-performing student at University. You will get so much benefit later on campus – you will get good grades and hence have time to enjoy the different cultures and friends!
The current hardness is temporary, NCUK courses are there all for a reason – to make sure you are prepared. So go ahead and don’t panic.
