"I chose University of Bristol when I applied for the Chevening Scholarship because of its reputation. Since UoB is one of the top universities in the UK (and in the world), I am proud to study here. I believe that all the knowledge and experience I'll acquire during my studies will enhance my future career."

"My personal tutor, Dr Paul Youdell was exceptional. His unwavering support and understanding made it possible for me to achieve a distinction in my programme. Also, I enjoyed connecting and sharing cultural experiences with my fellow classmates from countries such as China, South Korea, Brazil, Norway, Egypt, and many others."

"The programme was very interesting as it gave me an oversight of the vet profession. On one hand side, we had the opportunity to observe vets working in both large and small animal hospitals, to visit farms and stables so as to get the experience of working with farm animals, as well as visit the abattoir where we experienced the less pretty side of the profession."

"Coming from a metropolitan city without any large farms, I wanted to have the opportunity to work with farm animals and gain practical skills. I also wanted to get a feel for what the University of Bristol is like, and to see the Langford campus. I really liked how we were given very varied experiences, from milking cows to visiting the abattoir."

"The range of languages available to study here is extensive, from Portuguese to Czech and everything in between. I decided to come to Bristol to study French and Russian mainly because of the incredible facilities available – including a media centre and cinema where you can watch foreign language films with your friends."

"Having read the description of the course, it seemed to provide the perfect blend of the two areas I was interested in. In my first year, much of the course was focused on laying a foundation on which the other two years of my degree would be built on. It proved to be very interesting."

"I regard this university to be one of the most prestigious in the UK, in terms of research, academic quality and the bonus is that it’s based in the city of Bristol. The city is very safe and beautiful and not as hectic as London. It is also highly accessible, and most of the stuff that I need are always within walking distance."

"When I came for a visit, I instantly fell over heels with the atmosphere of the city. Bristol (at the time) wasn’t one of my top choices, but after the visit I went with my gut feeling and haven’t looked back since. I have met the most incredible people here, though my hall, course, and societies."

"I initially chose to study biology here because the course covered a broad range of topics – especially useful since I didn’t know what fields interested me the most. Our lecturers are all interesting and sometimes even lecture us on some of the cutting edge research they are undertaking in their field."

"I definitely enjoy my course. The year group size is quite small, which enables you to really get to know everyone on the course. I decided to study Dentistry at Bristol because it is voted in the top 5 for excellence in research and the dental school has great facilities, which really benefits my learning."

"I went to the open day on 2015 and that was my first time been to Bristol. I remembered at that time my English is not as good as now but everyone that I met on the campus was so friendly and patient to listen to my questions. And this was one of the main reasons why I chose to study here."

"There is an in-depth description of the little things our bodies can do that we take for granted. I find the mechanisms that regulate the effect of mundane things like overeating cookies, very fascinating.
The research and innovation going on in Bristol drew me in."
