Madhura, from India, studying MSc Management at our Streatham Campus
"Receiving the Excellence Scholarship, along with the Indian Student Scholarship, has been a tremendous help. Coming from a country with a relatively weak exchange rate, I was initially concerned about the financial burden of studying abroad. These scholarships significantly reduced my financial worries and made pursuing my dream education at a Russell Group university a reality."
