Meet Anastasia

Hi, I’m Dita from Bandung. I found out about University of South Wales from an education fair in Jakarta last year, and chose to study here because of the affordable tuition fee compared to other universities across the UK. The facilities that they offer, the 24 hour library and sports centre also impacted on my decision.

Although I am studying marketing I am able to study other modules that are not only about marketing and this is really appealing to me in order to expand my knowledge. There are other modules which allow me to know about the general operation of a business and also how to be a professional in a workplace. For the lecturers, they are very competent in the area that they teach and I even can see them as friend so I do not hesitate to ask them for a help whenever I have difficulties with my course.

Life in the UK

The UK is such a beautiful country, and the summer weather is really nice

It’s easy to get around and visit multiple cities in both Wales and England

Independence is really easy here as there is a team on campus to help with things such as setting up a bank account

THERE ARE MANY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS HERE.

MSc Marketing

The teaching method here is not like that conventional method which usually make students sit in the class and listen to the lecturer all the time. Each module in my course consists of lecture and tutorial session. In the lecture session, the lecturer will explain about a certain topic of study and after that I will have a chance to give my own opinion, make discussion with my classmates and do more practical activities during the tutorial session.

When I first arrived here, the University offered me a free taxi which would pick me up at the airport and take me to the accommodation. The immigration and international student advice team also hold welcome events to help you settle into life in the UK and the staff and lecturers of this university are really nice, helpful, and friendly. Whenever you have a problem with anything related to your study or your life in UK, you only need to tell them and they will gladly help you with the brightest smile.
