“Seeing young children die from high fever and women die during labour were the most traumatising experiences of my childhood. I felt I had to do something about it, no matter what it took.
“As I was raised in a community where girls were not generally sent to school, I had to challenge the status quo to believe I could study pharmacy and one day help mine and other remote communities. I look forward to delivering on long-term, strategic projects and initiatives in Nigeria which promote inclusive and quality healthcare and education.” HOLDER OF THE 2021 EIRA FRANCIS DAVIES SCHOLARSHIP, AWARDED ANNUALLY TO ONE OUTSTANDING FEMALE STUDENT WHO IS A NATIONAL OF AND RESIDENT IN AN ELIGIBLE DEVELOPING COUNTRY AND WHO PURSUES A POSTGRADUATE TAUGHT MASTER’S PROGRAMME IN HEALTH OR LIFE SCIENCES.

MAANASY NADARAJAH AMS Graduate
By studying, working or volunteering overseas, you will ensure you stand out from the crowd, develop new skills and an invaluable international network for your future beyond graduation.
“I took part in a six week summer internship in Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. I honestly expected that I would be fetching coffee or just shadowing people without really participating. In reality, however, it was the complete opposite: I was treated as an equal and was encouraged to speak my mind about any ideas I had. The experience has made me much more confident in speaking to others and presenting my ideas.”
YUXI TAO BSc Psychology from China
Employers acknowledge that spending time abroad: • Builds confidence, self-awareness and maturity
• Develops a global perspective and intercultural awareness • Facilitates adaptability to new environments and challenges • Improves communication and language skills • Develops transferable skills to help your future career
“Psychology has changed my thinking and given me a more profound and precise understanding of my people, things, and environments. Studying at Swansea University has provided me with a multicultural learning environment, allowing me to study psychology from the perspective of other cultures. “Swansea University offers a variety of support for international students during their
studies in the UK. For example, psychological support, covid-19 financial assistance, and much more. The city is beautiful; the locals are friendly; the university has an intense academic atmosphere and offers a wide range of employment opportunities. It is very friendly towards Chinese international students here and I recommend to my friends back home to join this open and inclusive university.”
