What Our Students Say
“Studying abroad is a big decision that will change your life”
Khalil Eldeeb
Current PhD student
Egypt
“Following my Masters degree I was fortunate enough to receive a fully funded, four-year PhD scholarship from the Egyptian government. I contacted many different UK universities and, luckily, I had lots of offers. My Egyptian supervisors strongly recommended Nottingham, due to its high rank, excellent reputation for research and diverse international community.
“I started in January 2007 and found a very interesting working environment, with up-to-date research tools, meticulous supervision and technical assistance. This support was reflected in the rapid development of my research into cannabinoids. Through the international links of my supervisor, I’ve had the fantastic opportunity to visit one of the most renowned labs in the US to master a new technique for the migration of microglial cells.
“I firmly believe that studying at Nottingham will be of huge benefit in my future career.”
“I’m very proud and honoured to hold two professional degrees from The University of Nottingham”
Dr Maqdad Taaqi PhD RRT BSRT
Former PhD student
Assistant Professor, Cardiopulmonary & Cardiovascular Sciences
Kuwait University
“I joined Nottingham in 2004 to study a Master of Research degree. During the year I had a tremendous amount of support from my supervisor and the school and found everyone very friendly.
“After the course, I was given the opportunity to progress to a PhD. After such a positive experience I had no hesitation in choosing Nottingham.
“The University is internationally recognised for its excellence in teaching and research, world-class facilities and beautiful campuses. It also ranks among the top universities anywhere in the world – an important factor for any postgraduate to consider before applying anywhere else.
“The School of Biomedical Sciences was awarded 5A* in the last research assessment exercise, another reason for my decision to come here. Being funded by the Government of Kuwait, the number of schools I could apply to was limited; Nottingham was one of the very few on their preferred list.”
