Postgrad Solutions Study Bursary - IT and Computer Science
Pius Lawal, MSc Computing, Oxford Brookes University
Pius Lawal has come to England from Nigeria to study an MSc in Computing at Oxford Brookes University. He was really relieved to be awarded a Postgrad Solutions UK Study Bursary, and says, “After arriving in the UK a few weeks now, trying not to freak out of my mind with the huge expenses when compared with how things used to be back home. The news was as surprising as was elating! This gave me much relief!”
It is Pius first time away from his home country of Nigeria, and winning the study bursary has made a huge difference to his experience, “Including accommodation, this pretty much takes care of one and a half months expenses. That is a major relief, plus a lot of time to plan worry free. But more important is that the timing couldn't have been better!”
27-year-old Pius’ family are really proud that he has come to study in the UK, his father worked very hard to ensure he could have this experience. Pius explains, “When you can go study abroad it unlocks a broad range of opportunities when you return. Although I am the 5th in the family, I am the first of the nine children to be in the UK, everyone is looking up to me to do them and myself proud now.”
He is really enjoying his experience at Oxford Brookes University. He explains, “ Wow, my first weeks have been overwhelming!! This is my first time out of my country, and compared to Nigeria, everyday is still so amazing and overwhelming.” He is also finding his chosen postgraduate programme to be stimulating and interesting, “I am loving every bit of the Programming (java) module and the Computer Systems & Networks module.”
Pius loves the Postgrad.com website, saying, “ The most amazing thing about the site is the vast amount of invaluable information for aspiring postgraduate students. I'm definitely gonna tell all my friends applying for admission in the UK about the site. A facebook link share will do the trick!”
