‘’ I would describe my experience so far at USW as exciting and life-changing.’’


Hi! I’m Koemhong from Cambodia. I came to USW on the Chevening scholarship. My choice to study at USW was not an accident.

The course content was one of my top priorities. I remember that I was searching for different courses at a range of universities across the UK, but my final choice was USW where I could find several modules that best fit with my future career plans.

Quality teaching, highly professional support from my lecturers and USW staff, and access to the latest technology and facilities have always made me proud of my choice.

MA Leadership and Management (Education)

My course is well organised and often features guest speakers and practical sessions which make learning more hands-on, productive, and effective. Equally, great access to the university’s library catalogues and ongoing support from my lecturers really makes my study at the university more convenient.

When I graduate, I will return to work for an education NGO in Cambodia and contribute to the development of the Education Program of that NGO.

Without hesitation, I would strongly recommend USW to other Chevening scholars from all eligible countries in the world. If you want your one-year-study in the UK to be a life-changing, exciting, and memorable experience, then USW would be one of the best choices you could make in your life.
