Scholarship student September 2004
MA Health and Social Policy
"I'm from Zambia where I was teaching high school students history
for around five years. I wanted to come to London to experience life in
the city centre — it's always seemed really cosmopolitan to me. The
culture here is fascinating, and I love being able to taste food from
all over the world. A Zambian who once studied here recommended London
Met to me. When I wrote off to the University, they were quick in
responding to me, and the information in the brochures was accurate and
told me what I needed to know.
I was a bit worried that the course was going to be really difficult
and maybe there would be a lot of prerequisites for getting in, since I
wanted to move away from teaching but didn't have much experience in
Health and Social Policy. But that wasn't the case, and being able to
get a scholarship to study here has been a fantastic opportunity for me.
I live in the Students' Halls of Residence, the Arcade, where I have
met fellow students from different parts of the world. We get along
really well and sometimes cook our traditional food for each other at
the weekends.
I would recommend London Met to anyone who wishes to study in
London, because the members of staff are extremely understanding and
always ready to help when you have a problem.
Eventually I would really like to work somewhere like the World Health Organisation — that's my goal."
