My major attraction towards studying at UCL comes down to the modules that it offers such as intro to child and adolescent mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders. Such courses will help me scrutinize the nature vs nurture debate as regards to child development and allow me to understand the role of social and cognitive influences in a child’s life...I came across the scholarship while my application process, through the website and immediately applied for it. It has been a great opportunity to have received the scholarship, and has made me feel proud of my academic achievements to have been given this chance.

Jiashun Li
MSc Software Systems Engineering
UCL Department of Computer Science
UCL was the first university to be established in London.. it is also a UOL member institution, which allows UCL students to have easy access to the libraries and resources of other member universities, including renowned institutions like School of Oriental and African Studies and Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. This vastly expands the academic resources available to me and will be invaluable for my studies and research. The scholarship was very helpful and I really couldn't believe that I was able to get it because it meant that I didn't have to worry too much about finances and could really focus on my studies and my interests.
