I chose to study at Nottingham because of its outstanding relationships with industry partners as well as its wonderful reputation for supporting international students during their university journey. Nottingham is a breathtakingly beautiful place and although the work is challenging I have received amazing support from both lecturers and administrative staff. This has made the experience even more enriching. The culture may be a bit different from your home country however Britons are very open to visiting international students. By the way, do not forget to pack warm clothes! Omari Blackman from Barbados (pictured, far right)MSc Electronic Communications and Computer Engineering
